We drove through the southwestern Georgia countryside today, past the peanut and pecan farms, until we nearly bumped into Alabama.
Stopped at Pine Mountain, the home of Callaway Gardens. “What’s there?” you say.
From their website: “Each Spring, Callaway Gardens’ landscape explodes with one of the world’s largest displays of native and cultivated azaleas – more than 20,000 of them”
We took a tour of the grounds at a speed that didn’t begin to do justice to its 13,000 acres, and found Spring has not sufficiently arrived to produce the explosion of growth and colors for which Callaway is famous.
Ohhhhhhhhh it’s lovely alright, but it should be breathtaking!
Gotta come back in April….
Still, we had a lovely time, and provide the following proof:
Love Callaway Gardens. Where can you camp near there? Trudy J

A large private campground just 2 miles away, imaginatively named Pine Mountain RV Park.
Glad to hear you are well enough to drive. Looks beautiful compared to the shrubs in Pa.
I’ll take it, looks like spring to me.
Better than OHio with snow on the ground and snowing lightly this morning!!
You can go back after you play your first couple rounds at Augusta in a couple weeks. Glad you’re feeling better.
Yeah! Don’t they have the best stuff in Georgia? We have a favorite campground near Augusta. If only I golfed…..
We just may have leaves on our trees up here SOMETIME!!
