"Gypsy Rubber Tramps!": ~Seminole State Park, Donaldson, Georgia, Vlog 8 of our "traveling adventures!"

Our story!

For several years now I have had the urge to travel which has been a dream of mine before marriage and children. My husband was never keen on the idea until one afternoon in 2016 he said, "let's do this!" The next day I began to sell, donate and give away items from my home. He was a bit shocked when he got home from work. I immediately called a realtor and our home sold within 24 hours for more than we were asking. I had sold, donated and given away EVERYTHING so that the day we moved we didn't even need a truck. We were able to drive away with everything we had left in both our vehicles. We moved to a smaller place directly across from the beach to enjoy the sunrise and sunsets for the following year before taking off to travel full time!

What a great place to camp in such a rural area surrounded by small town living! This 604-acre park is situated on the shores of Lake Seminole, a 37,500-acre lake created by the construction of the Jim Woodruff Dam on the Chattahooche River. This park is also the home to the Seminole Indian Tribe’s annual Pow WOW, which takes place in November.
