Our trip today is only a little over 100 miles so we waited
until ten am to leave Stone Mountain. That
gave the commuters of Atlanta
time to scamper around the beltways and clear the road for us.
Once we passed the concrete spaghetti of roadways near the
airport we stopped for fuel and groceries. Fuel was from a local station and
grub from Aldi’s.
After our re-provisioning stop we took local roads the rest
of the way to F. D. Roosevelt
State Park. Located
southwest of Atlanta a little over halfway to Columbia, I’m going to
say this area is pretty much the same as when FDR spent winters nearby in Warm
Springs.
The park was built by the CCC’s (Civilian Conservation Corp)
back in the thirties and what we’ve seen of it so far is typical rustic CCC
trademark work. The campground is sparsely occupied and very quiet. We have a
level shaded site with water and electric hookups.
