After maxing out the day of beaches yesterday, we decided to crash for the night in Apalachicola. Steve used the trusty iOverlander app and we found Battery Park located just under the bridge where Highway 98 leaves town. Essentially a gravel parking lot next door to a marina and a community park. Steve slept through the night however Jo not so much. We were on the road by 8:23, as Jo made sure of this!
We headed north to Chattahoochee Bend State Park in Georgia. This was a 500 km day of driving but first we needed to check out the Bloody Bluff Landing Wildlife Management Area that we had skipped the night before. It was located deep and desolate in the Apalachicola National Forest and the night under the bridge turned out to be the much better choice after all.
On arrival at Chattahoochee Bend we were fortunate to walk portions of the Riverside, Tower and Wild Turkey Trails before the sun set. This was a beautiful park with well maintained sites & facilities that we’ll definitely keep on our radar for future visits.
