Almost did this post the day after the last one but made myself wait, which was stupid…
HA
Because then I left it too long and forgot what I wanted to write!
The sites we have attempted like this before were VERY difficult to get a trailer to so I was not sure what to expect but this site was easy to get to!
We had dropped the trailer at Blue River and decided to drive to the other area I wanted to camp at without a trailer.
When we got there I realized it was perfect so Nick left some of the kids and I and went back to get the trailer.
The road and site were perfect!
We were right next to the river which the kids really enjoyed.
Perhaps a bit too much.
The Wildlife Refuge itself was a bit run down but was really interesting.
And the Craven Nature Trail was beautiful!
Deep Fork National Wildlife Refuge.
I love the boardwalk trail, so pretty.
And the whole walk smelled like honeysuckle this time!
We are pretty loud so we usually scare the animals away before we see them.
We think he was either a water snake or a cottonmouth.
Of course all four of my other kids walked right by him without seeing him…
I don’t know if you can tell but in the above pic we were getting rained on.
If I had it to do again I would have skipped this because it ended up being a long detour but I loved being on that mist covered mountain.
Beautiful.
The whole hike was so beautiful.
Made it!
This one was pretty close to our route home already but I was still not sure we should add even more to our trip especially with the weather turning cold and rainy.
But it ended up being stunning.
So many birds!
We saw that one of my favorite bridges was broken.
