November 13-16, I got to go camping in Georgia at http://www.gastateparks.org/info/georgels/ for work. The owner of the client company footed the bill for us to fly there and go camping. Needless to say, this was an opportunity that i couldn't pass up.
Thurs night (fri morning technically) we arrived at 230am at the camp grounds. Lucky for us, it had rained that day and the tent leaked. That meant we had to set up our sleeping bags after drying off the floor of the tent. Fri all day it rained off and on. Sat the sun poked through and then the temp dropped that night to 38. Sun morning i couldn't wait to get home and shower and warm up.
Overall it was a very cool time despite the weather. Beautiful park and i'd love to go back there again. Food was amazing (low country boil, fried dough, and meals that made me fat).
Highlights:
-A sign in a parking lot that was yellow with black text, appx 3'x8' and read GUNS
-Sign that read "cold beer needs a good home"
-One owner calling the co-owner's girlfriends cat-dog "gator bait" when he saw it
-More signs for Evangelical and Baptist establishments than pawn shops (there were 4 pawn shops within 3 blocks)
-Camping for the first time (sleeping bag, tent, no air mattress)
-Canoing for the first time
Isn't crazy how you can need a vacation after having a vacation?

yea, our 10/11-day excursion to devil's lake earlier in the year was a bit like that: very icy and wet; but definitely worth it.. ;)
