July 28 – August 1
Picasa web album link:Oak Mountain State Park is one of our favorites in the south. There are so many activities to do there, from mountain biking, kayaking, hiking, golf, horse-back riding and swimming at the lake beach. We were surprised to find that the campground had improved the sites by completely asphalting the campsites and interior roads. This made the campground much easier to drive around and the campsites cleaner and more level. Our site was one of the nicest in the park, even though it was nearby the shower house. We setup and felt at home right away. Our reservation was for 6 nights, which also made it more comfortable to relax and enjoy more time at the park.
During our time here, we really enjoyed the first class
mountain biking trails. Now that I have a real mountain bike, I was able to
ride more difficult and fun trails. We spent four days riding the trails and
had a wonderful time. We also went on a hike up the Eagle Overlook Trail; this
was a very steep up and down trail, traversing a couple of mountain sides and
creek crossings. The weather was perfect and actually quite cool for this time
of year. Another day we decided to relax a little and took a kayak and picnic
down to the small lake. The boys went with us and enjoyed some time to run
around and have some fun.
It was so nice to stay in one place for several nights, we
really felt relaxed and not rushed to go anywhere. The boys were able to run
off leash a little, as they were being real good and stayed within our
campsite. We had a campfire a couple of nights and enjoyed sitting out and
relaxing.
Now onward back to Florida!
