Not much, but we hope you'll get an idea of how beautiful it is. (Jackson & Scottishlass can personally tell you that the pictures don't do it justice!)
The lovely Jackson (on right) and the indomitable Scottishlass at the picnic site. Ignore the "No Camping" part - Camping is available a short distance (1/4 mile) away.
Plenty of room for everyone! Ya'll come!!!
And the beautiful Clinch River at the upper canoe ramp, just below the picnic site.
Gonna' be some fun times! Ya'll come an' see us!!!
It's very cool! In more ways than one - the water coming out of the dam is a constant 42 degrees fahrenheit. Scottishlass did a little wading yesterday and turned blue up to her knees!

Zeelander: do they have room (er... tent) service at this park?
I am going to try to be there. Too much is still up in the air at this point.

Not sure about "tent service" but there are cabins for rent in the same campground - not sure how far in advance they need to be reserved.
Thought that if we decide to do this again next year, we might rent a cabin for the entire weekend, but - like the lovely Jackson pointed out to me - we need to get through this year before we start planning for next year.

I am a mans man.... just prop me up against a tree and I am good for the night. I don't want any bugs crawling in my nose if I am laying down.

Yep, know what you mean! Jackson's idea of "roughing it" is a 2 star motel instead of a 4 star hotel. My idea of roughing it is going out with a blanket and a knife and then leaving the blanket behind.

Don, when we were driving around the park, I remember seeing some tents in one of the camp grounds, just can't remember which side of the park it was on.

P.S. Sorry it took so long to get the pics up - I was working on the chicken pen 'til full dark last night. (Finally got it done! )
