Our Journey Home

We decided to take it nice and easy going back home. No more 18 hour trips for us. We wanted a little time to relax and enjoy God's creation around us. We had been so busy working it was nice to relax a bit.
We camped out in the Adriondicks for two nights, at Meachem State Park, right on the lake. We made a lot of funny memories there. We didn't have good luck in getting dry firewood. Most of what we had/found was green and wet! So we had what some may call a fire! LOL
We rented a canoe for a day and just pulled it up to the campsite. The first time we went out in the canoe it was quite windy and cold. By the time we got to the middle of the lake the wind picked up even more, as well as the waves and it was hard to row. I was a little scared but we were ok. The next morning it was as calm as could be!
We drove around enjoying the mountains and went into Lake Placid, a very cute town. We saw some beautiful, rugged country up there.
Wednesday we drove south, through the Adriondicks, making our way home to the next campsite. Then we hit rain, and lots of it. We suddenly thought that a motel sounded like a better option. Using a coupon we had we got a good deal in mid- PA.
Thursday we bedded down in beautiful VA. We were at a funny campground. It had a small store and recreation room that they also sold hot burgers and fries ect. Well Thursday evening is Bluegrass night. So there we sat with our computers (free wi-fi ) listening to some good bluegrass music.(but NOT good singing!!! A lady with a smokers voice should not sing Ring of Fire!!!)
Friday we went to Poly-Face Farm(next post) and then decided to head on in home. As soon as we stopped at the Alabama rest area I new where we were for all the heat and humidity!! ARRG! Oh well. We were off to surprise everyone the next day!

Trying to dry the wood! LOL

A waterfall we found driving around, we hiked down to

The other side of the falls, a deep gully

On the bridge looking down to the chasm below gushing with water, kinda scary!

Ben decided to paddle the canoe to our campsite

The rough waves

All bundled up

A pretty sunset

We went back out on the lake as the sun set and it was a lot calmer

I love this picture. We went out early the next morning as the sun was coming up. We took Midnight with us this time. She wanted to come but was a little nervous.

"Hello? Yes, can you help me? They have me couped up in the floorboards of this truck driving all over the place for days on end!!"
