Winter Excursion 2, Day 135

There is one more State Park in the area we wanted to check out. We left camp around 1000 and headed north to Monte Sano State Park near Huntsville, AL.
On the way we snapped a pic of the chickens at the Piggly Wiggly/Ace Hardware store. This is where we've been getting our groceries since we've been here. We have no idea why the chickens.
We arrived at the park and were immediately impressed. The park is beautiful with lots of trails and vistas.
The park was built in the 1930s by the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) a work program spawned by the depression. This small building is the CCC museum.
One of the vistas.
And one more.
This is one of the campsites in the park. Check out the view.
Another view from the campsite.
We were really impressed with the campground.
This time of the year the campground is hardly used.
One more view.
We will definitely stay at this place next year. On site 55 you can sit by the campfire and have a birds-eye view of Huntsville.
Back at camp Cath made some yummy Clam Chowder for dinner. We had a campfire, dinner, and then a movie.
