Last of Walnut Ridge

I took an early morning walk and saw that there was a low lying fog over the creek. It looked really pretty with all the cypress trees and moss hanging from their branches.  The water was perfectly still.  This is part of the paddling trails that run throughout the park.

Always glad to see these insects on the job. We didn't have a problem with mosquitoes but there were lots of other bugs. One day there was a swarm of some kind of bug - kind of like a termite. They didn't stay long.

We had a great spot to camp with lots of room.


I love what these guys have to say about camping - of course I don't agree with them (most of the time at least).
