First Class Trip to The Huntsville State Park


This was not the first time I've been to the park, but it's been a while and it was nice to go back. First, I had no idea how nice the view of the lake was from the back of the lodge. I didn't even know that the lodge was there, which is a very beautiful place to hold any event. I had never done geocacheing, and that was a lot of fun. It's fun to go hiking on the trails looking for something hidden, even if its hidden 45 feet out in the thick brush....kind of! Also, I learned how to use a GPS unit, which was pretty interesting. I learned not to pick the pretty purple berries, called American Beauty berries, because their poisonous and it's against the law to take anything from a state park. I also didn't know that you could rent canoes out there. It was a fun class and I'm glad I was able to visit the park again, it had been about a year since the last time I went.
