Wet In Indian Springs









We had a relatively short drive from George L. Smith State Park to Indian Springs. It was only 88 miles from campsite to campsite. Unfortunately, it rained almost all the way. It also got progressively colder. The temperatures were in the lower 50's during the days we were camping at George L. Smith, but they were in the higher 30's by the time we arrived at Indian Springs. The persistent winds and rain made it feel even colder, but no complaints from us about the temperature, only the rain. We LIVE for nice cold weather. It's something we seldom experience in Florida, and we LOVE it! We've camped at Indian Springs on several occasions. It's one of our favorites. We greatly enjoyed the campsite we were in last year, so we booked the same one for this visit. This was a three night stay, December 7th, 8th, and 9th, 2018. Due to the weather, we had the campground almost entirely to ourselves. Like most parks, this one usually fills up on the weekend, but nearly everyone stayed away. We counted two other campers besides us during our entire stay. It was eerily quiet. TV channels were limited, but just like at George L. Smith, we had all the basics. We arrived on Friday, and Gary and Dodge hung out with me and took it easy. On Saturday, they cruised across I-75, and met up with Gary's sister Pat and her husband Dan in the town of Barnesville. They went to an estate sale, went to one of their favorite antique stores (Antiques On Atlanta), had lunch, and then drove over to Woodbury to Pat and Dan's farm. Gary and Dodge didn't come back to the park until almost 11 o'clock. I was kind of scared being all alone in that nearly empty park, and I was DEFINITELY happy when they got "home". On Sunday, the boys went out shopping again, but they weren't gone as long as they were the previous day. When they got back, Gary and I watched football together, and Dodge rested up. Our next destination (we were leaving the next morning) was going to be a lengthy drive, so we all needed some good sleep. Sorry I don't have more pictures for you from Indian Springs, but the weather just wouldn't allow it. I've posted plenty during our previous visits if you'd like to search through all the posts to find them. It's a BEAUTIFUL park!
