March 5 – 8,  2015.   Once again we leave another fabulous park (Silver River) without seeing and doing everything we wanted to.  We have a “date” this weekend that we have to keep.  My son, Richie is flying into Albany, Georgia on Friday to run the Albany Marathon and 1/2 during the Rock and Roll Festival. I am excited.  I love Rock and Roll and I love my son even more 🙂
We are staying at The Park at Chehaw in Albany.   We arrived late in the afternoon.  The park is a “Diamond in the Rough”.  This is a County Park, nothing spectacular, but very nice.  There is a Zoo, but I’m not much of an animals in captivity fan. I’ll check it out in the morning, but unless it’s injured animals that can no longer make it in the wild on there own,  I’ll pass on doing the tourist thing.
Drats!!! We are here before catfish season officially begins, April 1.  There is a lake here that is suppose to be well stocked.   Maybe next time 🙂
E T is HAPPY! The temperature here is a cool high 60’s low 70’s.   She has her “friskiness” back.   We have walked/run her miles around the park.   It’s amazing how good the “cool” air feels.
There are three things on my list of to do’s here. David has one. I want to go to Riverfront Park and walk the three mile Riverwalk.   I want to see the revolving Ray Charles Statue at Ray Charles Plaza (also at the Riverfront Park) and I’d like to go to Providence Canyon State Park “The Home of the Little Grand Canyon” in Lumpkin, Georgia.   David wants to go to the U.S. 19 Dragway.    He (we’re) hoping they have an event going on Sat night.   In between all this, Richie has to run 26.2 miles and we have to have a “cookout”.   I asked Richie, on the phone tonight, “when was the last time you had hot dogs and hamburgs on the grill”? His answer “it’s been awhile”.   I hope he doesn’t bring any snow with him tomorrow 🙁
