2012 Mountain Trip Day 1 adendum

Good morning.   I am on my first cup of coffee as I watch a beautiful sunrise over the mountains of South Carolina.

Yesterday was a looooooonnnnngggg day.    We were up at 0400 and on the road by 0430.    We ate breakfast at the the Waffle house in Gainsville, Fl ( Waffle House breakfasts of ham and chesse omlets with hash browns, scattered smothered an d covered are a tradition on road trips. )   We pushed from there to Forsythe Georgia for gas and lunch then the push to our destination, Tablerock Mountain State Park in South Carolina. It was a 12+ hour travel day.

No camp cooking was planned so we Checked out a local restaurant  called Aunt Sue's.   Country fried steak, okra and fried green tomatoes.....country cooking at it's finest.

Needless to say we were beat by the time we got back to the campsite but no too tired to enjoy our ritual Friday evening martini.  By 9 pm we were tucked in and off to slumber.

   We have a beautiful pull through spot, facing east so as I write, I am watching a most beautiful sunrise.   We will b e here for two nights.

Today we will be exploring the local area, hiking and just plain relaxing.  

Images to come later today.
