It seems that the humidity isn’t as bad in
Georgia as Florida…..got the exercising out of the way, had breakfast and away
we went at 10:00. Mark took the scenic
route and avoided interstate travel yesterday and today. So
we meandered thru the rural roads of Georgia and saw many Baptist churches, lots
of beautiful crepe myrtle, cotton fields, tall pine trees, some Southern
plantations and many small, very run-down homes or trailers along the way.
Most of the many small
towns we drove thru all have a town square with beautiful courthouse – saw some
really neat architecture.
Since we were in the Peach
State, I thought it would be great to buy some fresh peaches. We came upon Dickey Farms (the oldest
continuously operating peach farm in Georgia since 1897) in Musella. What a nice place….bought peaches and
peach/raspberry jam. AND, shared a dish
of fresh peach ice cream that was delish!
So here we are chuggin’ along in the large state of Georgia and what are
the odds we would drive right past Dickey Farms. We sampled a peach tonight – EXCELLENT!!!!
We stopped in Shady Dale, GA for lunch on
Daisy and then in Madison (cute little town) for Mark to take a quick snooze
(20 minutes does the job) while I hit a few shops.
Arrived at Ivy Acres RV
Park in Piedmont, SC at 5:00. Weather
was threatening, but nothing developed!
There are some nice trails
here at the park, so we took off and hiked thru the woods on a nice path to the
Saluda River!
We have 120 miles to Lake James tomorrow and fun with Blair and her brothers!
