Ranger woke me before 6 am, hrumphing at the door to be let out.  We headed out into a cool morning (50’s) with heavy fog lying over the river.  We took the road beyond where we turned off into our site, heading toward the “cabin area”.  These turned out to be very nice, sitting on a hill above the meadow we walked through last night, some rather small (perhaps 2 bedrooms and a living space?) while another was more like a lodge for larger groups.  I’m not sure what they charge for them, but they would be a nice place to spend a quiet week’s vacation.  (Note: I can’t check any of this on the Internet, as sitting down here in the campground, there is no cell reception and thus no Internet.)

 After a leisurely breakfast, we went out to explore some of the hiking trails.  We first took the Campground Trail up the side of the hill, ending up at Culler’s Overlook which allowed a great view into the river valley.  Another half-mile took us to the large visitor’s center which---for its size---was fairly empty.  They did have quite a display of stuffed birds including a number of those we had seen but also many different owls.  Continuing on a loop, we reached the picnic area along the river and took the Bluebell Trail back to our RV.  This last trail was full of mosquitoes, the first we’d been bothered with, but we did add a new bird to our list: the Northern Waterthrush.

The afternoon was hot with a rain shower in mid afternoon. We read and napped, then took Ranger for one more walk along the River Trail.  The evening continued overcast with intermittent rain, so we had a quiet evening of reading and DVD’s and popcorn
