BIKING.
Day 3 – The main reason we wanted to camp here was the roads for biking. There are miles of nicely paved roads within the Park. We remembered enjoying a bike ride the last time we were here in 2017.
We took a nice bike ride through Oak and Sycamore loops, then continued on to Foster Joseph Sayers Lake and the large marina that is part of this Park. The campground is on 5,900 acres surrounding the 1,730-acre lake and bordered on the east side by Bald Eagle Mountain. The scenery was beautiful. We will probably go back out on the bikes again tomorrow morning. There’s still plenty of this Park we haven’t biked.
I forgot to mention yesterday that the campsite we moved to, #080, was without any hook-ups. And it was cheaper – $58.50 for two nights.
It was 62 degrees and cloudy this morning when we got up. The high today was 75 degrees and the sun came out in the afternoon. This is the last day we have at Bald Eagle State Park. This Park is fully booked for the weekend due to Punkin Chunkin. We made reservations for tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday nights at Cook Forest State Park, north and west of here. We thought we’d better do it since that State Park campground was already full for the weekend except for four campsites. Beggars can’t be choosy sometimes, so we’ll have to take our chances on what the campsite looks like when we get there.
We went out to the tent with our books for awhile in the afternoon. A huge RV moved in next to us. By the time we came inside, three more campsites filled up. The campground is definitely getting busier. An advantage of being in the “pets allowed” loop is watching all the people walk their dogs. The kitties aren’t that amused. Oh well.
