Atlanta Georgia...

We left the beach...it was a sad day.  We did not leave until almost four to continue our journey north. We did not arrive in Atlanta Georgia until almost midnight. For a city of that size there are literally only about two or three RV parks.

Out of the three RV Parks in the immediate Atlanta vicinity, one is for military personnel only, one received terrible reviews so that leaves one.  We decided to head over because by the time we found them there was no one to answer the phones.  God is good, one site left otherwise it was Walmart's parking lot.

We pulled in and got settled around midnight.   They had a board showing open sites. You pulled a tag taking the sites available.  We backed our behemoth into its spot and went to bed. The reason for the stop in Atlanta was to meet up with two gentlemen that I team lead for with IBM.

I am the team lead for six. Out of the six, I have met three face to face.  I am taking our road trip opportunity to stop and meet these my boss and others I work with that I have never met.  Walter and Kevin, on my team live in or near Atlanta.  We had a great time a lunch on Thursday June 23 swapping stories and such and finally getting to see each other for the first time face to face. We spent one day/night in Atlanta then on to see another member of my team in Tennessee. 

Tennessee will also include the Tail of the Dragon.  It is supposed to be the best bike ride in the country.  Can you say 318 turns in 11 miles all with scenery to knock your helmet off.   I can't wait.  Mike, one of my guys, lives about 12 miles from the start of "The Tail."  Also the Tail will take us into South Carolina which will mark off another state on our goal of covering all fifty.  The Tail is the top ride but it is shadowing about 25 others almost just like it nearby through the Smoky Mountain National Park and Tennessee.

We will have more later when we get there I am sure
Love Steve and Heather
