I walked and did laundry this morning.  There was only one washer in our campground loop so it took some time to get it all done.  There were about thirty daddy long leg spiders there to keep me company as I folded clothes!

We are camped beside a hickory tree.  There are squirrels…so many squirrels.  They are all working hard to harvest as many nuts as they can!

Today we went to the spring that this park is known for.  It is believed that the water that here has healing properties.  We went to fill a couple of our fresh water gallon jugs.  We met people who had driven more than an hour to come and get this special water.  One woman was filling many jugs of all sizes.  She had a wagon at the top of the steps to haul it all to her car.  She filled more than 30 gallons.  She makes the 1 ½ hour drive every two or three months.

We walked along the stream.

We found a carwash…all those dusty red dirt roads!

We drove to the nearby town of Monticello.  We walked around the square.

We found a café called Five Loaves for lunch.  The sandwiches were very good.  I had turkey, cranberry, and brie on sourdough. 

We drove into Jackson as well.

This evening, we took our picnic to the lakeside and then took a walk.
