Reed Bingham State Park, Adel, Georgia

According to Joel, it’s pronounced AY dell.

I got away from the house just before 10 am and fought with the GPS which wanted me to go via I95 instead of directly to the Florida Turnpike.  It was pretty much 70 mph all the way on the Turnpike and then I75 except the last few miles.  I cranked out 436 miles in a little over 7 hours with rest stops.  No traffic tie ups and I was probably the slowest on the road.

The campsite is nice.  Again, new restroom/shower facility.  It seems Florida and Georgia are really upgrading their facilities.  I finally figured out that only specific spots in the campground are for tents.  The first clue was a tent with the circle/cross through it.  You go register with a “host” in the campground who is camping just like you albeit in a fancy Winnebago with air, kitchen, etc.  I suspect they get their fee of $38 per night waved.  My fee was $28 for camping and I’ll pay an additional $5 tomorrow for the car which is not included in the camping fee.

After a quick set up of camp, I took a walk down the Gopher Tortoise trail.  It was after 5pm and they normally are active at that time of day.  I only saw burrows.  The trail is a loop of 1 mile over very level terrain, much like the scrub community of the Lake Wales Ridge in Florida.

There is more Tread-softly here than I have ever seen. I hope they have a way of warning campers about it because it has stinging hairs that are excruciatingly painful if you touch them.

Tread-softly. I mean it.  It'll really hurt if you touch it.

Tonight is beef stroganoff, an early turn in, and then off to Bryson City, NC for one night in the Deep Creek campground.  According to the GPS, it’s a 6 hour, 28 minute drive from Adel, GA.
