St Marys GA

Our first stop on the TN8 was Kingsland GA. But the real attraction was the nearby town of St Marys – a town that Ooma and I visited today. This is a beautiful, quiet little town on the banks of the St Marys River and home to the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base. Ooma has … Continue reading »

Chickamauga Battlefield, second visit

On my first visit I split my day between Chickamauga and Lookout Mountain. My impression of Chickamauga was… HUGE. It is a very large battlefield. I felt … Continue reading »

Battle of Allatoona Pass

As I mentioned in the previous post, the railroad track ran very close to my RV site at Allatoona Landing Marine Resort. The upside of that proximity is that it put me very close to the site of the Civil War’s Battle of Allatoona Pass, a battle fought for control of that railroad line. The … Continue reading »
