Lake Malone State Park

The weather here was especially incredible here last weekend.....blue, blue skies and temps in the upper 70's. Thankfully, to a preceding week of cool evenings, the trees here have begun to change color and we had to get OUTSIDE and enjoy it all. On Sunday we headed to another one of the Kentucky state parks, Lake Malone State Park. It was small but packed a huge punch! Although we were unable to find any trail maps, we did find a trail head that said it was a 1.5 mile walk BACK TO THAT POINT. We thought that it might be a little on the long side but, ya know, let's try it, it looked like it hugged the lake. Turned out that is was 1.5 miles to the trail end which was in the middle of a field, than a half mile through the field to the campground then another half mile back to wear our car was parked at the beginning of the trail and the lying sign. It was a gorgeous trail though, with about a 1/6 of it entailing some light rock climbing. We had an excellent time, and Bruce got an extra great workout as he carried Griffin on his shoulders as we navigated the really rocky parts and near the end when his little legs just couldn't carry him any farther (we sure are glad he ate a big chorizo breakfast before we left home that fully fueled him up!) Anyways, the views were stunning and magical and I took many photos that I would love to share with you over the next couple of days.

You think that after the last few hikes you would learn not to trust the signs or what the guide tells you. You guys are getting a good workout at those state parks. Love the fall photos you took. The colors are beautiful here too. We had a great weekend with sunshine and warm temps, but today we are back to rainy and 50s. Last night the kids jumped in leaf piles we raked for them. Mommy jumped in too, and later that evening she was pulling out bunhes of leaves from the inside of her bra. Itchy!
Miss you much. ~The Webbers
