Thoughts on Pine Mountain

Despite the frustrations with our job, we enjoyed our time in Pine Mountain, GA. It's a cute town and the campground was especially nice. We also did a few things that were fun.

We visited FDR's Little White House.  Sometimes when I go to a museum, it's overwhelming to try to take in everything. That was not the case at The Little White House, it was just the right amount. There's a museum with a short video and artifacts that are interesting. Then we visited the Little White House itself. It was pretty small, especially by today's standards. We also drove a short distance away and visited the pool (now empty) where the polio patients enjoyed the waters and did therapy.

In Columbus, GA we visited The Infantry Museum at Ft. Benning.  This was one of those museums that was overwhelming with all the information and displays, but it was nicely done and well worth visiting. There's an observation area and if we'd been there on a day when troops were graduating from their training, we would have been able to see that too.

While in Columbus, we also visited the National Civil War Naval Museum. We had a very military day with the two museums, but it was interesting because they were both covering different information.

Also during our stay in Pine Mountain, we made two or three visits to The Whistling Pig for BBQ.

We spent Feb and March in Pine Mountain, usually a couple of the worst weather months of the year, but overall, the weather was quite pleasant with lots of sunshine. If we get the chance, Pine Mountain is definitely a place we'd visit again.
