RI - George Washington Management Area

We had a great inaugural weekend for 2009 - we couldn't have ordered up better weather - 70's and 80's (...in April! ...in New England! ...yippee!!)


We had site #26, which had great access to the water (Bowdish Reservoir), and great breezes coming off the water.



We were treated to a great sunset on Friday night!



Time to make S'mores - notice the stack of graham crackers...that was before Morgan noticed them...they weren't around long! Oops!



Everybody say "Ooooooooh..." Kevin got a decent fireside shot with one of the specialty modes on the camera.




The trails had several little bridges like these, Theo loved them. No luck letterboxing, though - one of the clues required tree identification, too tough for us without the benefit of leaves yet! We'll have to try back later this summer.





Check out the dudes on the kayak off in the distance...



...hey, I know you two! But where are the fish??? No luck - too early in the season yet, cold and clear water...and an impatient little boy.


Another angle of the site. This is a big site! Nice access to the water, but very open - right around the corner from the boat launch area and beach so there was a bit of traffic since it was such a nice weekend. A little too much sun exposure too, I think we'd pick another site next time.

Another great sunset on Saturday night (and loud neighbors that went home after one night!) Ahhhh, what a lovely evening.
