Cheaha was awesome

It was a early Valentine's Day get-away. It was perfect. Just what I needed. I'd been going a little crazy over Mindy, so Lee got me away from everything for the weekend. We wanted a cabin, but they were booked...through April! So we took the honeymoon suite at the lodge. No, the room wasn't fabulous, but it was clean and it had a jacuzzi, which after a good scrub down with bleach, for my peace of mind, and the waiting game filling it up, we had a lovely couple of nights hanging out in it, drinking. We stocked the fridge in the room with plenty of beer. We brought it with us. I noticed the little convenience store had Budweiser (not Bud Light). We had breakfast at the restaurant each morning and Saturday night. The food was okay. PS it's a grit (top right)

The camp ground were cool. I want to camp next time we go. I was so jealous, driving though, looking at all the campers with their tents and fires. These folks had gorgeous views. Although, they do have a few pet friendly cabins, so if we need to bring the pups, we can.

We began with Bald rock Trail after breakfast, then took a connector to the Pinhoti, stopping at Blue Mtn Shelter. Later that afternoon we hiked Pulpit Rock Trail, which lands you on a side of the mountain overlooking a beautiful valley. The hike back has a steep incline that just about kicked our butts. Reminded us of the Lodge Trail at Guntersville, straight up. The next day we took the Pinhoti from the trailhead inside the park to the Blue Mtn Shelter. We didn't mind ending up in the same spot. It's a lovely site. Well, except for the fact that some obvious non-hikers stayed there the night before, got drunk on some cheap whiskey and left their trash behind. Bottles, paper and puke littered the area. And it looked like one of them purposely melted the fiberglass covering a map of trails with their lighter. Jerks. I bet it's real spooky out there at night in the middle of nowhere. I hope the little punks got scared.

I want to go back, I want to go back!
