Wild Horses, Boiled Peanuts, Easter and Big Foot

“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float

To gain all while you give,

To roam the roads of lands remote,

To travel is to live.”

Magic, the seasoned traveling canine

I am Magic, the author of this travel blog which describes full-time RV life for me and my humans, Momma Dog and Big Dog. We have been living in our 39 foot Class A motorhome since May 2019.

In early April, 2022, after saying goodbye to Warren Willis United Methodist Camp and Conference Center, our first stop was Cumberland Island National Seashore. Well, the humans were allowed on this beautiful island, while I stayed in the motorhome to rest-as no dogs were allowed.

My humans are ready for an adventure!

Laura and Mike Davis shared their truck and delicious boiled peanuts with us in Kingsland, GA. This was a real example of southern hospitality.

My humans enjoyed the submarine museum in St. Mary’s, Georgia and then moved on to a Harvest Host sight in Lyons, Georgia-known as the Hidden Forest RV Club.

Then we moved on to A. H. Stephens State Park, which is west of Atlanta. Our site was in the equestrian area, so we again were surrounded by animals.

This was a fire spying tower and I climbed to the top-but saw no fire!

Who knew this armadillo would visit us? I thought they all lived in Texas!?

My humans learned about A.H. Stephens who was the vice president of the Confederacy. It was interesting but troubling.

And on a lighter note, we enjoyed early spring sights of beauty.

And they found philosophy in the bathroom!

Then we headed for an Easter visit to Stone Mountain Park. My humans had stayed here before and do not really liked the narrow, poorly kept roads-but I like it there!

Well we soon were visiting with the family and Joanna and Jennie took Momma Dog to a fancy tea house in Atlanta on Good Friday.

Delicious and lovely

Then we enjoyed lamb kabobs, an Easter tradition for us. I tried a bite of lamb and gave my full approval. Momma Dog also made bunny salad and jelly bean nests.

And of course, Annie dyed some Easter eggs!

We told the family goodbye and headed to the north Georgia mountains. The humans met up with RV folks in Dillard at River Vista RV Resort.

We were nestled among the mountains.

Momma Dog and Big Dog love this part of Georgia and visited Clayton and Dillard.

Which one is the mannequin?
This was one of many sightings of Bigfoot seen during our time in north Georgia. This one was impressive.

And Momma Dog had a shopping and tea sipping day with RV friends.

The humans spent a day at Tallaluh Gorge State Park, while I stayed home and gazed at the mountains.

So many steps…

So pretty!

The next day my humans had a large and yummy breakfast at The Dillard House (no doggy bags allowed!) and visited Black Top Mountain State Park and Fox Fire.

Our next adventure was The Great Smokey Mountains National Park-and I went along to this beautiful place! And here is the blurry photo to prove it!

We spent the day hiking and driving around seeing beauty and learning about the history of the area. And we took a stroll on the Appalachian Trail!

This was an observation tower.

A hike to see Minehaha Falls Trail was also on our list. This hike was a bit muddy and treacherous, but beautiful.

And our last adventure was to the Big Foot Museum in Blue Ridge, GA to “believe” he exists.

See the resemblance?

These adventures in the north Georgia Mountains ended and we drove to our first camp host gig in a state park. We arrived on a Sunday and began volunteering on Monday at High Falls State Park, which is between Atlanta and Macon. And we stayed here from May through October, 2022-which will be covered in a future blog.

Mountain Dog?

Thanks for reading this travel blog! I send woofs your way and need to rest my paws before I share the rest of the story. LOVE-MAGIC
