Pine Mountain, GA - Pine Mtn RV Resort

After a fun filled drive through monsoon rain, thunder and lightning, we have arrived in Georgia. This trip segment took us around Atlanta via an interstate beltway. We saw nothing of Atlanta, not even a skyline view due to the heavy rain. We did have plenty of time to look since we crept along, stop and go, at 35 mph. Enough of Atlanta!

Pine Mountain, GA is a small sleepy town known for it's unique art scene, shopping, and food offerings; and the famous Calloway Gardens.

Today, Callaway Gardens is a 6500 acre resort complex with all the amenities. In 1930 Cason Callaway discovered a rare azelea that gave birth to the Garden idea. Callaway purchased 2500 acres in 1932 on which to build his home. Gradually his holdings were expanded and in 1952 Callaway Gardens began in earnest. In 1970's Callaway Gardens was opened to the public.

One of the signature features of the Gardens is the Cecil B. Day (founder of Days Inn) Butterfly Center. There are 2000 butterflies housed in North America's largest glass enclosed tropical conservatory.Baca lagi
