Too-Early Spring in Pine Mountain, GA

We found a few flowers blooming!

We were hoping to see the azaleas blooming at Callaway Gardens, but it was just a little too early.  Luckily, we were there on a beautiful, warm day and we enjoyed an exciting raptor demonstration where owls and vultures flew over our heads.  The butterfly house was also a delight.  We could tell that the gardens would be gorgeous in a few weeks and just the drive around the grounds was relaxing and a treat.  We had lunch next to a pretty lake and agreed that we would come back when we could see some blooms.  While at Bella Terra, we met some folks who are members of Larry's favorite online friends the Tiffin RV Network (TRVN.)  They told us about a rally they are planning in Pine Mountain in the Fall.  We will be there!

Speaking of Bella Terra...we stayed at a nice campground in Pine Mountain.  We were in a new section built for big rigs.  We had a nice roomy pull-thru site with good wi-fi and satelitte reception, and a nice place for Gus to play,  but  IT WASN'T BELLA TERRA!  We have made this a joke now...finding something that's slightly disappointing and labelling it "not Bella Terra."  Even Vada has been affected; she comes out of the coach in the morning and looks around for the lake.  You can see her thinking "it's not Bella Terra."  But, of course that doesn't stop her from sniffing around!   We have been spoiled...but, we will get over it!  And we are on a mission to find more Bella Terra's!  KB
