Edgar Evins State Park

Ok so we were a little rushed when got all of our reservations back in order for the first part of the trip. It is 4th of July week and open campground spots are a little hard to come by. The 8000 acre state park is beautiful and built on the side of a mountain. The camping spots are wooden platforms jutting out over the side. They say the maximum size rig is 33 feet. We showed them, we squeezed our 40 ft rig right in here. I don't think anyone will run into the part that hangs out into the road.
I guess riding bikes can hold off until the next location, or I could ride down the mountain and Rob could come pick me up.
The lake is a little strange, not a beach on it. So much for setting up our lawn chairs, a cooler of cold beverages and watching the dogs frolic in the water. Laura is joining us today while Jack goes to a meeting. I know she's looking forward to hot day in the sun on the water. That's ok, we can take the canoe and paddle out and jump in when we get hot. Course once we jump in we'll have to push the canoe back to shore and start the whole process all over again. I guess that's why pontoon rental on this lake is BIG business and there's not one to be found.
It's ok that we can't get a satelite signal, who needs TV anyway. This trip was all about comuning with nature, although I was planning on a slow withdrawal. We still have the internet thanks to our Verizon air card(we're not getting paid for that plug,yet.)
