10.20.2018 Fort Mountain State Park

It was a chilly night and started to rain!  We thankfully stayed dry under the tent but it wasn't very fun disassembling our campsite in the weather...thankfully Isabelle and Jamie had a lot of practice doing it quickly.  
Our tent was so roomy that we brought our table and Keurig (not roughing it too much as you can see) in the tent for a drier breakfast.  I had gotten a few bags of donuts the day before so we didn't have to cook for breakfast.  Hot coffee is a must!  

We were happy to see a break in the heavy rain and took a short hike to see the famous stone "fort" that the park is known for.  It was a foggy and a surreal hike through the forest.  








The rock wall is 885 feet long and located on the peak.  The ruins are thought to have been built by the Native Americans that were local in this area around 500 AD.  There are several legends but thought this was possibly built for religious purposes.  





Driving back we stopped for an early BBQ dinner in Louisville and got to see cousin Nancy!
