We arrived at Yonah Mountain RV Park in Cleveland, Georgia, and discovered that the office was closed.  The sign said to check the box for paperwork if we had a reservation and if no reservation to check with the camp host.  Guess what?  There was no paperwork for us even though I knew I had a reservation.  So, I crossed the road to find the camp host.  Again, guess what??  The camp host was not in their site and their vehicle was gone.  I asked around to find out where they might be and nobody had any information.  So we settled in to wait, leaving the RV parked in the road by the gate.  After a while the site host returned.  Now to the bad news, they said it was their day off and they didn’t have the key to the golf cart to help us pick a site.  However, she was really nice and said that she would try to reach the person on duty so we could get some help.  Shortly a very sweet gentleman arrived and drove us around to pick a site.  He was really helpful and gave us some suggestions and helped with advice on where we might get satellite reception. After we settled in, we were happy to find out we did have great reception, and for the first time in a while we actually got all the channels.  Tony was so happy!!

The next morning we checked in with the office and discovered that they had not received the latest change to our reservation.  They still had us coming in several days later.  Oh well, all is well that ends well, we had a great spot right across from the clubhouse and laundry room.

Despite some rainy days we had some really great days of riding. Our first adventure took us to a quaint Bavarian village, Helen, Georgia. It was only a few miles north of our campground. The color on the hillsides changed daily and made the drive all that more enjoyable. When we got to town we parked across the street from a small park with a very beautiful little waterfall, Alana Falls. Getting a good picture was tricky as it was on the main road. Every time I got ready to snap the picture a car passed in front of me.  I kept at it, however, and did get some great pics.

We then strolled down the street but didn’t get very far.  We were attracted to a T-Shirt shop and had to go in and look around.  Of course, we ended up buying matching shirts with beautiful designs.  We got two each and then ended up with another gift for Tony’s great-niece, Kamia.  We put all the shirts in the bike and started down the street. Then it dawned on me that when the nice gentleman had picked a shirt to put on the screen print, he had said 6 months.  Oops, she is already 6 months old and won’t be able to wear this.  We needed to get the right size.  We went back into the store and asked if they would exchange it.  He was so nice and was willing to do whatever was needed.  So I told him I would mention him in my blog.  If any of you are ever in Helen, GA, please be sure to stop by Tip Top Tees at 8681 Main St.

Juanita, you will be getting another package soon for you to give your granddaughter. Does this remind you of something?  When I was expecting, Bobbie, Tony’s big sister, was so excited to have a nephew that she spent all kinds of money on Mike.  Looks like Tony and I are continuing on the family tradition.  We can’t pass up baby clothes without thinking of this beautiful baby.  Here is a picture of her in the space suit that we sent her from the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.

We then walked down the street to check out the town. There are horse-drawn carriage tours, food shops of all kinds, many gift shops, and beautiful landscaping.  The buildings are all built in the Bavarian style and they even had a windmill. Enjoy the pics.

The next adventure will be in the hillsides and parks surrounding Cleveland, GA. Be back soon…
