My gang.
We’re at the McKinney Campground of Lake Allatoona, GA COE.
Ron with Sheba and Sunny
My big reason for wanting to come here was mushroom hunting. On the drought map, it looked like this is just north of the exceptional drought line. I just KNEW that since it’s prime wild mushroom season that I would hit the jackpot here.
Unbeknown to Ron, I even smuggled my dehydrator in the bottom of the Casita closet to help me deal with the bounty I anticipated finding.
Unfortunately the drought map lied. It is just as dry — or drier — here than it was at home.

Another view of our campsite
We didn’t get a lakefront site, so no photos of gorgeous sunsets over the water. But it’s beautiful. I’m sure we will find lots to entertain ourselves with — in spite of the no-show mushrooms.

/ September 12, 2012May not find mushrooms but your camping! Your little puppy sure has gotten big.
Have a great time.

/ September 13, 2012Yes, Sheba has really grown. I’m hoping that she won’t grow a lot more. She just fits in the truck now! 🙂

/ September 13, 2012Is that a bichon frise…our grandkids had two at one time – sweetest dogs? So now I’m like fascinated with your mushroom hunting. I’d be scared to eat the wrong one but from reading past posts I can tell you are skilled – very interesting. Bet wonderful eating as well!!

/ September 13, 2012No, Sunny is a rescue Maltese. He’s very distrustful of strangers so it’s a challenge when we meet people. But he’s my best buddy, sleeps with me, and knows he is mommy’s #1 boy! 🙂
I’m very cautious with mushrooms. I LOVE finding and identifying them. But I eat only a tiny percentage of the ones I do find. The fun is mostly in the hunt!

/ September 13, 2012I agree with Jo – any excuse to get out camping. Looks like a nice site, even if it’s not on the water.

/ September 13, 2012I can’t either! When I fell in love with that tiny little blue eyed puppy, I didn’t realize how big she would get. She is gorgeous, though, I think. Very regal looking. Still a LOT of puppy energy and inability to control herself when she gets excited meeting new people. Hopefully she will calm down — some day! 🙂

/ September 13, 2012The sites here are so private, Marcia. Heavily screened with vegetation. I love campgrounds like this!
My puppy size calculator says that Sheba should top out at 38 pounds. I hope it’s right! 🙂
