McKinley Corp Of Army Engineers Park

Hi! Yep! your read the title and that is where we are located. about 8 miles from Acworth, Georgia. Exit 278 off of I-75. We had stopped here on our way to Florida and decided it would be a great place to stop and rest after our convention. Doug, Betty, and Dorothy are also here.

We walked down to the lake. Altoona lake. Picked up some stones to take home, put under the outside water faucet. Have shells under one of them. Or put them in the flower bed with the hens and chickens. Just so pretty, the red bud and dogwood are in bloom. A little cool, but the sunshine is great.

Took off for town. Stopped at the local drug store to find a good place to eat. Go to Henry's. A Louisiana Grill. Ernie and Betty were the smart ones. Betty's pasta and shrimp, came without the hot sauce as by her request. Ernie had a pork chop. Dorothy had gumbo. She said she did not know there were so many ways to make such a simple dish as gumbo. Not that great. Doug had the nights special of corn. potatoes, crayfish and lots of hot sauce. It even burned his lower lip it was so hot. The corn on the cob had hot pepper sprinkled on it. I had Etoufee. Shrimp and crayfish over rice. with some hot sauce. I ate all the meat and a little of the rice.
They also served a delicious sweet corn bread. But we had a good time. It is apparently the place to go on Friday nights as when we left it was standing room only.

Came back to the campground for hot showers and a good nights rest. No listening to generators running or other noises. Sleep well. jkc
