​In order to complete my obsession (aka "goal") of visiting every Georgia State Park from April 2019 to April 2020, I needed to be smart.  I work fulltime, have 2 teenagers, and a limited budget.  There is only so much time in the year.  Traveling back and forth to south Georgia was not in the budget of finances or time.  So I started dreaming of a longer trip in which I combined parks.  It seemed that the southwest and southeast parks split nicely, so that was the plan.  My work is slow in January so the first of the two southern roadtrips would be then.  And the West won.  I was going to visit the 7 parks in the lower south west corner: Reed Bingham, Seminole, Kolomoki Mounds, George T. Bagby, Florence Marina, Providence Canyon, and Georgia Veterans.  (Each park will have it's own Blog entry, this entry is to capture the roadtrip adventure and the meaningful moments and people that flavored the entirety.)
