Together the night before

Peacocks

Last night we camped at a KOA in northern Georgia in my parents RV. The campground has some resident peafowl--two male peacocks, one solid white peacock, and one peahen. We were able to catch a couple of them with feathers fully extended; a neat treat before we embark on our hike.

Rainstorms

B flew in to Atlanta in the evening. A weather system was moving through the area--our Ladonia friends received some nasty hail. B's flight from Chicago was rerouted to Nashville, and he sat on the tarmac for thirty minutes before they retried the approach into Atlanta.

Once back at the campground, we pulled all our gear, food and packs together into the wee hours of the morning. To celebrate the beginning of a new chapter, we opened a bottle of Chilean wine given to us by a good Chilean friend of ours.
