Thanks to the goobers in Washington DC shutting down all things within the federal govt. during Oct. our planned camping trip to Lake Conasauga (which is in the National Forest system), had to be reworked to a Gordan county park in N GA called Salacoa Creek. So we made the best of it and camped... It was in the mountains (more or less), it was camping, it had a lake, and we had a great view of the lake from our campsite. The lower part of the campground was CROWDED! People were parked cheek to cheek, and everyone was having fun socializing amongst each other. But we tend to want a more isolated, quiet spot when we camp - so we were up on the hill, away from the crowds. We had one camping-neighbor, but they tended to stay in their camper, so no noise from them.
All in all, we had a great time. Blake fished, the boys & I sat around camp reading, and playing McScrabble ...a made up version of scrabble just for fun, and we spent some time hiking at Fort Mountain. The weather was perfect - cool and refreshing. and Murphy seemed to enjoy his first camping trip, too!

| This is Murphy SMILING at Ian, begging for a hotdog. I wish it was in focus, but he's wiggling so much is hard to get a good picture of that silly smile. |

| ANOTHER attempt to capture Murphy's smile. It looks EVIL, but he's just a grinning fool! |
