Another month in North Georgia complete. We continue to remain camped at River Vista RV Resort in Dillard, GA. The weather warmed throughout the month of May and the campground got busier, culminating in Memorial Day Weekend when things were packed. We’ve wandered around a bit but still pretty much staying in place.
We moved Lola to a new site within the same campground, #21. This was a site with a nice shade tree which kept things cool all month long.
A few days into May, we ventured into the nearby National Forest and drove up a forest service road for several miles so that we could access the Appalachian Trail and hike to a fire tower along the ridge. It was one of our rougher hikes but we made it and were rewarded with wonderful views.

On the way back out, we passed a station where water levels are measured as part of ongoing research into the growth of the forest.
During the month of May we got to visit our grand babies one time as part of a run into Atlanta. They continue to grow under the watchful eyes of their parents, are discovering more of the world around them, and doing very well. May 18 marked 5 months old!!!
There were activities around the campground during the month. The outdoor pool opened up, more people were visiting (and their furry friends), and during Memorial Day Weekend, we had a parade! Jill tried out a new electric trike (still deciding if we’ll buy it).
But, with another month almost complete, we were getting a little stir crazy. Adele seemed to find the same sleeping position each night on the couch so Jill tried it out…
Even the weather was getting weird on us. We had several spring storms come thru but this one was particularly menacing…
May marked the month that we finally got our hair cut! And the dogs got their hair cut and washed too!!! First time for all of us since February!
While waiting for the dogs to get groomed, Dan wandered over to South Carolina to visit the Chauga River. There is a very nice county park where you can gain access to the river and one of it’s tributaries for some nice views of a waterfall and some rapids.

On the last day of the month, as part of a shopping trip into Clayton, we made a quick side trip over the state line to South Carolina again to see Reedy Creek falls. This is a very short walk to a nice small falls and pool at the bottom. Unfortunately, while trying to get some artistic views of the falls, Dan managed to fall into the creek (only his shoes got wet though). While going thru Ingles later, he made a squishing sound and left tracks behind him wherever he went 🙂

June 1st we move again (another site, same campground). Stay tuned for another update as we head into our summer of isolation.
Stay safe and healthy.
