Cottonhill COE (Mar 19-23)

Wednesday - Having problems with the converter not keeping the house battery charged. We stopped at Camping World, but they didn't have time to replace it. We weren't sure if the RV motor would charge it and were concerned about our food in the fridge. Thankfully, when we got to Cottonhill the battery was fully charged was fine. Anyway, we got in and settled by about 5:30 PM. John fished from shore for about 30 minutes, but nothing. 

Thursday - We got up fairly early and took a nice long walk over to the beach area. We saw several deer on the way plus an immature bald eagle, a great blue heron, a yellow rumped warbler and a flock of downy woodpeckers. It is really spring here with dogwood and redbud in bloom, plus very active birds. What a beautiful day! It got in the 70s with clear skies and a nice breeze. 

Friday - Another bright sunny morning, but too cool to kayak and fish, so we walked again. In the PM we drove over to the visitors center and fished along the shoreline, but caught nothing. 

Saturday - We took our morning coffee walk over to the beach area and met some nice folks who spend the winter together at Salt Springs. Later, we took our Tenkara and pan fish poles over to the boat launch area and managed to catch a couple bream and a small bass. The fishing is not happening here yet. 

Sunday - Two men from Ft. Gaines Baptist Church have conducted a worship service here in the campground for several years. It was good to see them again and here I am very good message. We also met some nice folks from LaGrange and south of Atlanta.
