And We Were All Having a Good Time Until…

Monday we moved to the Lonepine Campground at Doddridge County Park in West Virginia. It’s a lovely, uncrowded place with paved, full hookup sites.

The entry was a bit daunting, we came off a small road on a very steep entrance, then stopped and took off the weight distribution bars on our hitch so we could continue down this twisting downhill…

and then across this one lane bridge to the campground office.

The park is beautiful and the grounds are well cared for.

It has a disc golf course…

and some spectacular trees.

We’ve played disc golf every day.

Matey and I have taken other short walks to enjoy the scenery.

With so much space we’ve been letting Matey off the leash while we play disc golf. He’s loved tearing around the lush grass.

Until the eighth hole we played today, when he came running downhill through deep, thick grass, tripped when he came to the blacktop road and skidded on his right knee, taking his fur and some of his skin off.

He still thinks he’s young, but he’s not; just like us.

Bud walked back and brought the truck so we could take him home…

and patch him up. That bandage lasted less than five minutes, but at least the antibiotic ointment had a bit of time to work.

Now we’re just relaxing in the shade on a gorgeous day in a beautiful setting.
