Roosevelt State Park in Pine Mountain, Georgia was where TAC members congregated, in area five's picnic pavilion each night at 5:30 PM, for appetizers and socializing. Callaway Gardens was nearby,

http://www.animalsafari.com/safari/ for a face licking good time! Some folks hiked the Pine Mountain trails, while others rode their bikes or scooters around the campground. Relaxing with a good book and dabbling in water colors, was what I chose to do. One day I gave a quick,sewing session, lesson, for making vintage trailer awnings. Quite a few campers brought along their pets, so doggie walks led to socializing, picture taking, and tours of trailers. Several evenings, marshmallows were roasted over campfires, and movies were projected on the side of an Airstream. The vintage trailer group, on the bottom of the loop, got together several mornings for breakfast; eating waffles, pancakes, bacon and other deliciously fattening fare! Quite a few children, ages ranging from 4-11, kept us all entertained with their bug and frog catching, chalk drawings, blueberry gathering and their observations of the bats nesting in the rafters of the picnic pavilion. Through word of mouth, chalk messages in the road pointing the way, and the original Rally plan set out on the Forum, we managed to have a great time. Be sure to plan ahead for the Fall TAC Rally in Georgia.

We were welcomed home from our camping trip by our neighbor, who proceeded to tell us that a 100 foot tall Tulip Poplar tree, in the woods behind our house, blew over onto the back fence of a house in the nest subdivision.
http://www.briartech.com/latespring/tulip/ptulip.htm Oh joy!! State Farm informed us that it is each homeowners own responsibility to clean up their own property. My husband insisted that we clean up their yard and repair their fence as a good will gesture. So I am out in the tick invested woods, in the poison Ivy being a good citizen! Oh well, now we have plenty of firewood for our next camping adventure.
