Chattahoochee Bend (SP) 10/7/23 - 10/10/23 (#20) Part 1

We took Coco on her first camping trip. Our first stop was at Chattahoochee Bend SP in Newnan, GA (about 4 hours from the Farm). It's a small CG on/near the Chatahoochee River.

We stayed on site 111 which was very private, at the end of the first loop. 

We arrived on a Saturday which is unusual for us (mostly weekday campers) so the campground was full of families camping & lots of kids playing. We took Coco for a walk around the CG once we got set up & all the kids wanted to pet her. She did great & loved all the attention.

It was the first time using a pet fence which worked very well keeping Coco on site without having to tether her.

The weather was quite cold when we woke up Sunday morning. Turns out in our haste to leave the farm, I had forgotten to close the vent above the bed. It's a wonder it didn't blow off on the way.

We went for another walk in the CG on Sunday morning & the kids we had met the day before all called out to say "Hey Coco!!".

Coco liked to keep warm by either laying in the sun or snuggling in the 'cooler' of my camp chair.

We went on a hike to the river the next day while dinner cooked (Boston Butt) in a small 2 qt. crockpot I got from my friend. It worked very well for cooking a the butt & then warming up soup the next day.

p.s. Coco did great on the hike!

We went into Newnan one day to buy diesel & take Coco to her first dog friendly restaurant Meat N Greet. Newnan is best known as the home of Alan Jackson (country music star) & there was a cool murel just down from the restaurant.

Overall, the trip was a great success & we think once Coco grows out of the puppy stage she'll be a great camping companion. A few more pics.

A small taste of fall.
