Stephanie and Sadie had off Friday so we set out on Thursday at the end of the workday. It took about an hour to reach the campground. The office was closed so we were instructed to take care of that in the morning. The gift shop/office was well stocked with goodies. We bought some field guides (mushrooms, trees, and birds) and a camping and a birding journal, along with our customary fridge magnet.
The weather was forecasting rain, but it held off except for some light showers. At home, however, we had over 9 inches. So in that, we dodged a bullet.
Coincidentally the sites we chose were some we had stayed in years before, but with much improvement.
We stayed in the Cook's Ferry campground, but easily were able to walk to the other two. Across the road was a large meadow with sand volley ball and swing sets were right around the corner. Access to the nature trail was easy as well. After all the rain we had fun photographing unique mushrooms and toadstools.
One of our favorite activities was an invented game of Beach Ball Volleyball! Fun!
This was a fantastic trip and we are already trying to plan another outing to Fairfield Lake State Park!
