Back to another old favorite

We had decided on our way back from Reston that we wanted to stay at Defeated Creek for a few nights on our way back.  Because it was during the week, the campground was not very crowded and we were able to get one of our favorite sites:  Site #53.

Even with all of our traveling this year to Florida in the winter and spring and up the northeast to Maine and Newfoundland this summer, none of the campgrounds we visited are as nice as Defeated Creek. 

The only “attraction” for Defeated Creek is the lake and one hiking/biking trail.  There are also several playgrounds in the park.  But what makes Defeated Creek so nice is that many of the full hookup sites have a nice view of the lake and just about all of the sites are level and large.  Plus, it is a Corp of Engineer campground and is only $25 per night!

While we were setting up, a couple rode past us on their bikes, and when Chuck looked up, he realized it was Sam and Patsy, some friends we had met when we were living in Rockvale.  So we got to visit with them some while we were there.

One of the things we like about Defeated Creek is you can just relax and do nothing.  We rode our bikes some but mainly we just enjoyed sitting outside...watching the sunsets…

…watching the deer...

... and each other…

…and drinking some Moxie.  Here’s to you Joe and John and everyone at Moody Beach!  We miss you!

Defeated Creek was the perfect place to finish our summer adventure. 

And now we look forward to seeing friends and family again back home in Nashville and traveling to Atlanta to enjoy being with our kids, grandbaby, and grandbabies on the way!
