Camping - Bald Ridge Campground

 Camping - Bald Ridge Campground

We had a lazy day at the camp site - MOSTLY due to my injuries.  It hurt to walk so I didn't want to go anywhere.  Also, I wasn't anxious for the puppy to be on the ground where other dogs had previously been.  A short 2-day, lazy camp stay is okay!

Amanda and Tyler arrived mid-morning and brought bagels, cream cheese and salmon.   It was a delicious snack!  We hung around the camp site and caught up on 'life'.  Phoebe came with Amanda and Tyler and it was fun watching her run into the woods and back, mostly chasing a ball.  This dog has really progressed from the last time we saw her.  She used to have extreme social anxiety and would hardly leave Amanda's side, but now she's much more bold.  The two dogs had little to do with each other.  We hung the hammocks and Amanda and Tyler went for a walk around the campsite.  We prepared dinner.  I had brought along the fixings for a Black Forest cake so I put that together.  Scotty and I made schnitzel.  Dinner was good - schnitzel, warm German potato salad, salad and cake for dessert, accompanied by Blues Beachhaven wine.  This is the last day that this camp site is open, but it's very nice and since it's close to Amanda, I hope we're able to return!

Camping - Bald Ridge Campground

 We’re at bald Ridge campground which is a Army Corps of Engineers campground. It is on Lake Lanier, about an hour north east of Atlanta. It’s a beautiful campground and the majority of the sites are on the water. We had to back down a small hill to get to our campsite. But the site is level, and there are trees around us and you’re actually a bit set off from the road because of backing down into the site.

The one major difference in this camping experience from all of the others is that we have a new camper with us. I would tell you this new campers name but that’s to be determined. I will tell you that he is the cutest camper you’d ever want to see. He’s a little eight week old, black puppy, a cross between a Shih Tzu and a bichon frise. Because we have this new little puppy we shortened our nine day trip, to a two night trip here. It turns out puppies that haven’t had the full vaccinations are very susceptible to the parvovirus. He’s only had his first set of shots I won’t be fully protected until he said all three sets. So he has a little playpen. He will have full reign of the trailer, and if he poops and peas inside for these two days, all is well. I also have a sling carrier and he’s great right now when I walk him around. Scotty’s been great about me getting a new puppy, as we both know this could hinder our travel freedom. But I’m determined to teach this little guy how to hike, kayak, and camp. Stay tuned for further progress. Hopefully the dig is still with me, and more importantly - I hope my husband is still with me!!
