March 30-April 2 Flovilla GA

A little over 60 miles and we arrived at Indian Springs State Park in Flovilla, GA. Because we arrived early we got one of the best sites in the campground.

The next day we drove to Griffin GA to tour the Del Webb there.


Here I am in front of a Del Webb model home


Del Webb does landscaping right

On Sunday morning the camper next to us suggested we visit Dauset Trails Nature Center which was only 3 miles away. It was well worth the trip. Inside the center Ray and I watched with wonder as a turtle propped himself up on the head of an alligator. (The overhead lamp must have been warm.) The lizards were fascinating.

Getting a picture of this lizard's tongue was a challenge

Outside the center we enjoyed feeding a snapping turtle and watching the yellow belly slider turtles sun and the otters swim.


This snapping turtle has a face only a mother could love.

These slider turtles were really relaxed.

This river otter just emerged from the water.
On the way back to our campsite we stopped at a neglected cemetery and read a few headstones.


The cemetery, although on state park land, was not maintained by the park,

We also joined other tourists enjoying the water at Indian Springs.


Our RV crossed the bridge in the background.

One of those tourists let me take a picture of her kitten. Too cute.
