Columbus, GA and Montgomery AL

Columbus is on the Chatahoochee River, a main river that flows through the whole state and ends up in FL where we stayed a 3 Rivers State Park - the Flint, Chattahoochee and the Appalachacola (all big rivers we have crossed in GA).  During the civil war Columbus,GA was a major supply depot and the south's Ironworks factory, making cannons, bullets and ironclad boats.  We saw a lot of manufacturing-(Proctor & Gamble, wood mills) driving to GA and the empty Dolly Madison ( Hostess) factory.

We stopped at the Naval museum after a war with Alice the GPS.  She was still steering us wrong as we got to Montgomery,AL for the night. Mike had had it.  This nice campground, Capital City RV, had two bus-stop shelters on either end of the pond with cement walking path around it.  How unusual.  Wonder.
