Found a great place to sit and relax at the lodge called Sunset Landing.
While we were listening to some music that Marlon had brought with us, some people came up and joined us. We had a nice conversation with them. They were here vacationing from Florida and come here several times a year.
Later we decided to go look and see if the Buckberry Lodge Trail was open. Earlier when we had checked it was closed, the people we met told us a siren sounded which means a bear was spotted near the trail and that's why it was closed. It's now 6 pm and the trail was to open at 6. The sign was hanging but I removed it and removed the chain across the trail. Marlon went in and wanted to make sure it was alright to go on trail. I on the other hand went down the trail a short distance and started taking some pictures of wild flowers. Marlon returned and said it was ok to hike the trail.
When we reached the bottom of the trail which ended up at a creek . We looked over and saw the most beautiful place in the woods. The lodge had set up an area to come and relax or groups could come and have class or just come and hang out with friends. Since we were the only ones there we checked out the surroundings and enjoyed the serine place in a hammock right down by the creek.
The trip up the trail was pretty much curves and straight up. It was a hard climb for me, I got out of breath several times and had to stop to rest. I am so HOT.....sweat is pouring from me.....looks like I need to get in shape.
Back at the lodge I can't go any further. Marlon went to get the car and come and get me. LOL I cannot climb the hill to get to our room.
Dinner tonight will be a bottle of wine and a cheese tray left for us from Honda (Marlon's Work Place), and some bread and dipping oil. Great ending to a beautiful day at the Buckberry Lodge.
