Time for L & L

That would be Laundry and Laziness. We are at Lake Guntersville State Park in Alabama for two nights. It was not easy getting here yesterday. The first rule to know is that there are no direct routes from North Georgia to North Alabama. Because of the mountains, everything angles. So we made a couple of wrong turns, wound up and down, and when we finally arrived, things didn't get much simpler.

The campground is huge--over 300 sites. I think it has a higher population than Blairsville, Georgia--our last stop. We had called ahead and they had plenty of space so we didn't reserve a spot. At the checkin, they assigned us a site. We missed the turn and when we finally found the spot, it was short, quite unlevel, and the fire ring would have been under our slide. In addition, there was a large transformer and no picnic table in our small space. The next one was empty and much better so we went back and asked about it. It was only available one night, but the nice lady gave us another possibility and her cell phone number if we wanted to check out any others. We finally got one, but still not very level and no fire ring. But since a monsoon is forecast for later today, that probably doesn't matter.

By the time we got set up, it was getting late. I wimped out of cooking and we went up to the Lodge WAY on top of the hill for supper. This is a resort park and the lodge is a wonderful building with pool, rooms, saunas and other facilities. The meal was excellent too. The views of the Tennessee River from the huge deck in back are great.

Today will be time to kick back, do a little laundry, and a lot of reading and writing. The campgrounds have all been pretty full with lots of kids--spring break. Because of the forecast, supper will be some soup in the crockpot. Tomorrow we will head to Tuscaloosa for a visit with granddaughter Jessi and then turn toward home.
