MCCRAE, GA: Little Ocmulgee State Park

Instead of leaving Briarcliffe RV Park on Sunday, we extended our stay until yesterday (Tuesday).  We pulled out about 10 A.M. to head further south, trying to beat the heavy winds expected for the area.  Our destination was Little Ocmulgee State Park near McCrae, GA south of I-16.  We wanted to meet up with some ham radio friends who were camping with their local club and had invited us to join them.  We kept Little House rolling all day and arrived at the park about 4:45 P.M., getting set up just as darkness fell.  This is a large park with a large lake, campground, golf course, cabins, and lodge with a restuarant.  Another couple invited us to join them for dinner at the lodge.  The food is reasonably priced and portions are large.

Today started with temperatures in the mid-thirties and windy conditions under clear skies - another beautiful fall day.  We explored a little of McCrae, what little there is to explore, and made a grocery stop.  This afternoon, the camping group invited us to happy hour around a campfire to share some hot soup and many other treats .  We stayed happy until about 6:30 when the temps dropped to the low forties and it was time to return to our warm RV's.  Tonight's low will be in the 20's so Hank unhooked our water hose to prevent freezing - we'll use the water in our fresh water tank.   Temperatures should be much warmer tomorrow.  We'll be at this location until Sunday.
