The second park we visited last Saturday is named after the US congressman and military leader John E. Coffee. Coffee is most famous for creating the “Coffee Road” to carry munitions of war to the Florida Territory to fight the Indians during the Creek War.
This park has some nature trails, a lake you can canoe on, and a large “Heritage farm” with livestock and cottages furnished with antiques from the early 1900s. As expected, Trey loved the farm and spent a lot of time talking to the goats and donkeys. There was a very large turkey that followed him up and down the fence trying to peck at him. Trey would just shout at it “No turkey! Go away!”
Hi, I just wanted to tell you about a new site that I am working on: http://www.recreationparks.net/
Using USGS data, I’ve added records for over 60,000 parks. Here is the link for a park you have written about – General Coffee State Park: http://www.recreationparks.net/GA/coffee/general-coffee-state-park-douglas-north
Wow-Trey looks very grown up in this picture. He’s such a cutie. Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday!
