Day two at Hiwassee/Ocoee Scenic River State Park and the grasshoppers are still chirping. I have never heard grasshoppers go at it like this, my friends don’t even hear them, but man are they loud, so loud I feel like I have to yell to be heard over them when we talk. It rained a bit during the night, and a couple of the tents didn’t prove waterproof, so we started drying things out while making breakfast. While we were playing at the river, the rain started coming down hard, but since we were wet already, no need to stop playing in the water. Unfortunately, the tents got soaked, so we cut the camping trip short and I checked into the hotel that Bonnie and Jim were staying at. We all spend that afternoon hanging out at the Etowah L&N Train Depot, laughing, chatting and just having a good old time doing nothing. And when it got dark, we continued the “just hanging out” at the hotel lobby.
