    North Ga camping ... 2 consecutive weekends

    I took the family up to north Ga for a 4-day weekend this past weekend. I didn’t find out until Monday that national hammock day came and went while we were up there, so I decided to share some pics. The kiddos and I have enjoyed the luxuries of over-nights in hammocks for a while now, but this weekend we finally got my better half into one for the night. I do believe we now have the entire family converted. This area is a few miles outside of cell range and we enjoy hiding out there as often as possible. I am blessed with a great family who enjoys getting out into nature and doesn’t complain about losing their phones for long weekends.

    We lucked out with the bugs. They were virtually non-existent and we didn’t have to use bug nets. We just used poncho liners for covers and were perfectly comfortable.

    This was actually the second weekend in a row that I snuck a long weekend from work. The previous weekend, we hit the same camping area, just a different site. For both weekends, we had set the same goals ... read, eat, sleep, and repeat. Happily, both weekends were very successful.

    My favorite photo is the sitting in the stream reading one. Bliss. How were the overnight temperatures?

    The temps dropped down to the low 70s ... pretty much perfect for me.

    Nope. This was at Sarah's Creek, about 10 miles east of Clayton.
