The emphasis for our second practice trip: water. Now that we have two new Lifeline batteries, and feel pretty confident managing our electrical/propane systems, we decided it's time to figure out how to fill the water heater, work the water pump and hook up to city water. I'm happy to say we have mastered all of the above and now have indoor plumbing and hot water on demand. We also figured out the multi step process of opening and closing our awning! We traveled to Pine Mountain Georgia to begin our trip and stayed in Franklin Delano Roosevelt State Park: loop 5, site 520. We loved this park "in the pines" and the wonderful hiking trails. We chose this particular park because of our interest in the area after watching Ken Burn's documentary "The Roosevelts ". We made a side trip to the nearby town of Warm Springs for lunch and to tour the Little White House FDR built to stay in when he visited the healing springs after contracting polio. He actually died in GA, in the Little White House, in the spring of 1945.
