Southern Transcon - Georgia Day 1

This morning we left Eufaula AL and immediately crossed Walter F George Lake (a reservoir formed by damming the Chattahoochee River) into Georgia.  Once we turned off the main highway (US 82), traffic was low volume and the road conditions were generally excellent.  We did continue to battle headwinds, but today's climbing was somewhat less than the previous two days.

We passed cotton and peanut fields, and rode through many miles of forests, all very scenic.  I had never been to Americus GA before.  Plains and Americus were more widely recognized during the administration of Jimmy Carter. 

The day ended in Cordele GA after 116 miles.  We continue on tomorrow with a destination of Metter GA.
