May 7th was our second day at Franklin Delano Roosevelt State Park at Pine Mountain. We went to see the "Little White House" today and it was very interesting. You will see and read in the next few slides how FDR came here 41 times and thought that the warm Mineral Springs would heal him.

This squirrel was in a tree adjacent to our campsite.  Notice he is holding a peanut given to him by Doug, which is in fact against park regulations.

This is the last car owned by FDR.  He designed hand controls for the gas, clutch and brakes due to his polio.

This is the servants quarters over the garage.  Notice that the potty is right in front of the window.

pool where FDR swam in 88 degree mineral water with healing qualities.  Pool is now filled only on Memorial Day and Labor Day for bathers who pay $20 each.

We were able to put our hands in the healing 88 degree water which is used to fill the pool.  It did feel really nice.
