Our trip of a lifetime, 2010 got delayed and delayed. Lindsay had prostate cancer and had 64  radioactive seeds
implanted. Nancy had her thyroid removed. Our daughter has several hospitalizations. The original plan was to leave
May 1st and we finally got away in Mid July. We were also delayed 10 days when we actually left and the brakes on
the RV went out. It was due to a WorkHorse recalled item, so they paid for it, but it was a hassle. Our original plan
was to go up and finish the remaining 4 states we haven't visited since retirement, but that didn't happen. We will be
making a second trip up this way to see the changing leaves.
North Ga Trip 2010 Style
We saw this female praying mantas in the campground at Perry,
GA. They are very rare and I have only seen a few in my lifetime. A
great omen for the trip.
This is the famous Georgia shaped pool in the park in cave springs. Nancy swam in it as a kid and our daughter did a generation later.
