East Bank Campground – Bainbridge, GA

Since starting our travels, we have visited this campground three times. Our campsite was on tranquil waters, and the sunset views were spectacular. The sky’s palette is calming, and its reflection in the water magnifies its grandeur. We were a little early to see the swarms of coots that often visit this lake each year.

Mitch experimented using the drone while he kayaked on the lake. His concentration on ensuring the drone wouldn’t land in the water and onto his hand led him to make one crucial mistake. He forgot to turn the record button on hence no drone footage. We need to work on employing a drone more often as it provides a different perspective of an area. The only issue is most national, federal, state parks prohibit flying drones.

There was a little hiccup in our plans. Its name was Hurricane Ian. We anticipated there would be strong winds off the water from the storm, and we decided to move from our idyllic water view to a higher ground tucked back into the campground where the winds wouldn’t be so persistent. High winds are not fun when living in a fifth wheel. We also had to extend our stay here as the next campground we were to visit was closed due to the chaos Ian created. The hurricane was a blimp on our travel plans compared to the devastation Fort Myers residents endured and continue trying to put back the pieces of everyday life.
