Happy New Year 2016!
We are excited to camp at George L. Smith for our first time camping at this beautiful park. It is best known for the refurbished Parrish Mill and Pond, a combination gristmill, saw mill, covered bridge and dam built in 1880. The park is also hosting an added treat while we are there called "Kiss My Grits" at the gristmill, see website for details. Some camping geocachers will be arriving on the 15th to take full advantage of all the *activities being planned for this weekend and to discover this unique state park.

6:00pm - Stone Soup (bring a can or other item to add to the pot & share dinner with us)
