North Georgia

We came up out of the Atlanta area to Hiawassee, in the mountains of north Georgia, in fact we are only a few miles from the highest point in GA, Brasstown Bald at 4783'.  It is beautiful and green with the rhododendron blooming.  We are at a very nice campground, Riverbend, and really enjoying the peace and quiet.

Our campsite

As I had mentioned, one of our goals while here was to run a new wire to power our auxiliary air compressor for our leveling system.  We had lost power inexplicably in Atlanta, and wanted to get it fixed as soon as possible.  We arrived here in the afternoon and decided to do the project in the morning.  We had scoped things out and knew what our plan was to run the new wire.  Now it takes usually about a day or so to leak enough air that the pump would come on, so the next morning as we are having coffee and breakfast and planning to go to work, what do we hear????  Yup, the air pump is running?!?!  

Now we are usually on the receiving end of Murphy's Law, not in a good way, and I don't really know what the opposite law is, but we'll take it.  Our belief is that there must be an unwritten property of the leveling system in that when it gets beyond a certain point of level, and our site in Atlanta was very unlevel, it shuts off power to the pump.  Anyway, that's our story and we're sticking to it :-)  No complaints and we'll just assume it fixed itself.

We leave today to continue north to Cherokee, NC, and plan to explore and fish in the Smokey Mountains National Park.
