Started out early Saturday morning on our first long RV trip, we are going with our neighbors Dick and Jane (yes that is their names) to Sugar Mills Creek RV Park in Clarksville Ga to see the leaves change and just hang out. The first day we made it to Eufaula, and stayed in a Army Corps of engineers camp grounds..it was right on the lake and quite beautiful. In 1963, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers created Walter F. George Lake (unofficially named Lake Eufaula) behind the lock and dam of Fort Gaines, Georgia. Eufaula is a beautiful city and has a wonderful history and it is the largest city in Barbour County, Alabama. By the late 1850s, Eufaula's advantageous location on the Chattahoochee made it a major shipping center for cargo bound for the Port of Apalachicola and, from there, to major world markets such as Liverpool and New York City.
Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge was established along Lake Walter F. George to serve and protect many endangered and threatened species such as the American bald eagle, the American alligator, the wood stork and the peregrine falcon. The refuge is a major tourist attraction for visitors from around the country.

The next night We stayed at a campsite called Country Boys.... After dinner Pierre and I went for a walk and we came across a playground so we seesawed and played on the swings..it was so much fun kinda like being a kid again!

The next morning we set out early and made it in to Sugar Mills campground.
The drive was breathtaking, at least it was for me, so many trees changing to such beautiful colors. The campgroundis quite nice and they have wifi..yea!
The next day we went to Goats on the roof it is just outside of Clayton Ga and it is a wonderful place. They have the cutest little goats and they live on and off the roof of the houses!🐐Loved it.
We then went to Tallulah, Home of Tallulah Gorge, an ancient, awesome 1000 foot chasm carved over millions of years by the Tallulah River, Tallulah Falls is actually a series of six waterfalls cascading down through Tallulah Gorge. Breathtaking they were! But let me tell you...the stairs! That's right...we did 374 stairs...my legs are twitching still as I write this. It was worth it. The suspension bridge over the gorge was quite fun too..I have never been on a bridge like that and it swayed as you walked on it!
