Since the leaves in Florida change only to brown, we headed north to see the color in Georgia. We were not disappointed. Here is the story of our trip.<\/p>\n

2025 11\/3 Monday to Ponderosa RV Park<\/h3>\n

Ponderosa RV Park<\/a>, our first stop to get to Georgia, is a small, very noisy place to stay overnight No real services and nothing much to say. It is directly off the highway. We walked around the campground looking for a lending library to fill Stu’s junk fiction habit and found a locked, dark recreation center.<\/p>\n

One of the campers noticed Joan and asked if we needed anything. The result was two brand new looking books for Stu to read as we traveled.<\/p>\n

2025 11\/4 Visit to Holly Bluffs Marina and the Southern Belle<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>We stopped by Holly Bluffs Marina on the St. John River on the way from Ponderosa to Stephen Foster. Nice marina with lots of parking and several larger houseboats to rent for use on the St. John River.<\/p>\n

The boat was high off the water with a nice boarding platform off the starboard aft corner, but we were given a 4-step ladder to board.<\/p>\n
