Leesburg, AL- A great place to spend a birthday

Sat. and Sunday  6/22-6/23 (Days 298 & 299)


 We left Tennessee and drove a fairly short day (about 220 miles) to Leesburg, Alabama. We picked this place because it has a pool....which is great on these hot, hot days. (Cedar Point Campground)

This is a picture of our campsite beside the lake. This campground is a lot fuller than the last one...especially here on the weekend. As we've talked to people, it seems a lot of locals come here for the weekend, leaving big RV's here for a month or more.




 People like to swim in the lake, but we passed and used the pool instead.

 Sunday morning we went for a "geocaching walk" along this path. There were about 10 caches here.



 Harris says "Howie always takes the high road!"



 We came back for lunch, then headed out for  a real geocaching spree. We had met a fellow cacher on the last stretch, who told us about this area, and gave us some help. We ended up getting over 40 caches...they were spaced out about every half mile or so, so it was easy to get a lot in a fairly short amount of time.
Harris officially becomes a "geezer" today...and he can't wait to get a lifetime national park  pass! Happy Birthday!




Total miles driven today = 255
