In about two months we should be back in Alabama. We had only a few campers in the park last night so we got up this morning without breakfast and took a walk through the park with Allan asking every few minutes "when are we going to eat"? You know men only think about two things and food is one of them. We are posting this mainly for our benefit for memories when we look back in years to come. But ... since you are here take a walk with us.
We will start with the entrance to our campsite. Here is our personal sign and then the our flag and the big rock.
We have found several blackberry bushes in the park. The berries are very small. We get only a few on our walks so the big question is whether we will have enough for a cobbler before we leave. Allan hopes so. There is that issue of food again.
Coyote cabin is one of four cabin in our campground. They include two bunk beds and a futon, a table and two chairs. There is one electrical outlet, a light, and a camp fire ring and picnic table outside.
There are 20 lean-tos and these are what we have been painting. The older ones are made of logs and take much longer to paint. Cherry is the lean-to that Allan ran into with his head. Cherry is the most rented in the park mainly because of its large campsite, location near a creek and the most private.
Our park is very heavily forested with many old growth trees. The trees are so tall that we see very little sky except in a few areas. It really gets dark here at night. It is so nice and peaceful and a very good place to take walks and get your cardio exercise. We are full this coming week-end which is Labor Day and everyone is working to get the park in tip top shape for the campers. It takes much effort to keep the place clean and looking nice, but that is what we are here for.
The Appalachian Trail comes through our park on this road. We get many hikers that use us as a stop off for rest and showers.
I am amazed at the number of rocks with huge trees growing on top of them. There are many ferns and moss growing on these rock, too. I took a picture of Allan in front of one of the rocks to give you some perspective of how large they are. This large one has an overhang that looks like a cave entrance.

We have two bath houses one in each loop. I was able to catch Casey and Felicia hard at work cleaning the bathrooms. Such dedication. Way to go girls. The upper bath house still has some flowers blooming.
It was so nice to have you along with our walk through the park. Come again. Oh by the way, Allan did have brunch.
