05/18 - Hungry Mother State Park, Marion VA

We left hot, humid Daphne Thursday, May 13th - for two days in Tallahassee, and then on to Tallulah Gorge St Park in northeast Georgia (near Clayton), and then to this lovely, cool park, arriving yesterday 5/17.

Hi, Jimmy!

Lake loop trail, including the spillway.

We slept happily under a blanket last night - low temp in the mid-50's. Because of yesterday's rain, we opted for a walk rather than a bike ride around the lake this morning - the path was goopy in many spots (plus up and down). The lake loop trail was mostly shaded and soft with damp leaf litter, almost deserted and altogether very pretty. But, when we elect to do something, we go all out - our first hike of this trip was a 6-miler! We were ready for lunch and to be off our feet when we got back to our campsite!

We plan to be in Brewster on Cape Cod for the June 5th wedding of my nephew, Jon Nykvist and Lauren Filtzer. AND a family reunion - yay!
