North Georgia Escape 2025

Day Trips

Friday, we made our obligatory trip to Camping World.  As always, we needed something.  We have 2 receivers for the Dish, but neither were working, thus the trip.  Big Bob has to have his TV!  But bad news - somehow my credit card fell out of my purse and is MIA.  I don't know if it happened at the store or in the RV and the next RV stop will not allow mail. so I guess we will be a one credit card family until we get home.

The Camping World was in Alabama close to Auburn, giving us a chance to look at the Campus.

Saturday, we took a day trip to Columbus to see the Naval Civil War Museum.

 

We spent several hours there.  It is probably the best Civil War Museum we have seen, and we have seen many.  Official records confirm that Columbus was the last battle of the war. 

The Jackson, the largest surviving Confederate War ship is on display.  It was extracted in 2 pieces and was preserved because those parts were below the water line during the 1865 fire.

We then went down to River Walk.  We were last in Columbus in 2020 during COVID  and the RV trip from Hell.  We found the restaurant we had eaten out back then and had lunch. As good as we remembered!

Today, we head to Newnan to have lunch with our grandson. I'm really looking forward to it since we haven't seen him since Thanksgiving.
