The R5 spend the past 5 days traversing Georgia and visiting many of the state parks on our path. Our last stop was High Falls to stay in a Yurt within the campground overlooking the lake. The beauty of the Yurt – no tent work! You just drop in lay out your sleeping bags on the bunk beds and treat everything else like typical camping.
It was very inexpensive and quite nice for our needs. The kids thought it was cool and I liked the simplicity of it.
We enjoyed the park as it was nearly empty and wildlife was a plenty. The white goose came by our Yurt every morning and night, honking at us to get out some bread. It was fun watching everyone feeding it (I know we’re breaking all kinds of animal rules) and I was able to get it to take a bite from my hand.
Remy and Rogan displayed their ingenuity by scavenging the swampy area around the dock to find a fish hook, fishing line and a bobber. Then they found a good long stick, broke off all the extraneous limbs and asked for my assistance tying their makeshift line to the ‘cane’ pole. Next, Rogan and I rolled over logs so that he could dig up worms for Remy to bait the hook.
Amazing team work when they are both focused!
Resa has posted many more photos and stories on Facebook.
This has been a great week to refresh and take a breath of the fresh air. I already miss Jekyll Island and plan to go back to the coast soon…maybe the Gulf Coast for our next trip.
