Chief Ladiga Trail Campground

We spent Easter weekend on our first camping adventure of the season.  I say, "adventure" because there was no electricity or water...not our usual camping style.  

We pulled in and there was no one at the office, the bath house was locked, and there were no other campers.  After a debate (fight) about whether or not to stay, we decided (I won) to stay.  If this place had hook ups, it would be my favorite campground so far.   It's on the Chief Ladiga Trail (Alabama's side of the Silver Comet...a rail to trail project). It's right off the Pinhoti Trail, if hiking is your thing.  And it usually is our thing, but not this sort of deep woods, single file hiking.  We need side by side, hand holding hiking width with possible stroller back up sort of smoothness.  And then there's the creek for kayaking.   So for playing outside, this place is a gem.

Eventually the hosts showed up and two other camping parties came, too.

Here's the pictures...

All set with her magazines and snack!  She's getting better about going in there now.


Fun bridges

She would spend the whole day walking up and down the creek

Not sure why Jeff is doing muscle-y arms, but I like it.  :)

Kayakers

Zoe liked them

And Ninja poses are still the thing.
