We had a chance to get away due to the warm weekend ahead we headed to Tannehill for our first camp outing of 2010. Our campsite (332) is on a stream with a babbling brook. Combine the crackling of the campfire with the gentle sounds from the brook, and top that with the bird singing and you have your own piece of Ole' Beautiful. Imagine150 years ago these hills protected our soldiers and ammunition foundry at the beginning of the Civil war. Each Memorial day a battle from the war is reeacted and one day the South wins and the next day the North wins. It is so realistic with the canons, the horses, the period tents and the cotilion that night.
The boys, Jack and Forest, came camping on Friday and Saturday night and really enjoyed the sunshine as well as the heat of the fire and the colors from the Christmas lights.
But we took them back so we could ride our bikes around the park. It is exceptionally beautiful right now with the leaves on the ground. Weather was great and it was a great ride. We love our bikes that we got this past summer from Cahaba Cycle.
Once we got back from our ride around the park, IditaTrish had to check out the Iditarod Dog Sled Race that started in Anchorage today and will finish in Nome which is 1149 miles away in about 9-10 days depending on alot of things; weather, dogs, strategy. This is truly the Greatest Race on Earth.
