Default FDR state park

Our latest romp was to Franklin Roosevelt state park,http://www.gastateparks.org/net/go/p...?locationid=88 near Pine Mountain GA. Great park, landed a site right on the big lake in the park. Weather was nice for one day, the wife enjoyed the 'Pine Mountain flea market' day we lucked up and fell into while here. Also around is the 'little white house' http://www.gastateparks.org/net/go/p...D=49&s=0.0.1.5 and Callaway Gardens http://www.callawaygardens.com/callaway/ .
The park has a load of hiking trails all across the 'difficulty' scale, from the 0.8 mile 'Delano' trail we tried to a very long and strenuous trek all over a small mountain. Folks were pulling little bass out of the lake, boating around with paddles or off the banks.
Not too sure this park would be that great for radio, it's kind of down in the valley with that lake, so could be marginal. One of these days, maybe 'Radio' can assist / give tips on putting the dual I used to keep in my Jeep into the TT.
Met some folks full timing in a triple axle 'Avion' TT pulled by a big Dodge dually diesel. They were on the way back from Key West to Indiana, which they had been doing for 40 years. (I don't think they had been full timing for 40 years, but you never know.) The old boy had bad circulation in his legs and his doc wrote him a prescription back in '69 for swimming in 80 degree water daily, in Key West! I wonder what his co-pay on that one is?
