Claytor Lake State Park

I know the pics on this link http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state_parks/cla.shtml do not look very appealing, but I have to say that Claytor Lake State Park is one of the most enjoyable parks that I have ever visited. Quiet, peaceful, and beautiful…

We found it by accident and were enjoying our hidden treasure. Walking, playing, relaxing…
Then…… Natalie yells SNAKE!!! And for a moment chaos insued… However, after Big Daddy arrived all returned to normal and serenity once again ruled the environment.

We continued our journey with a walk through the park and discovered an amazing white sand beach surrounded by large shade trees. Truly, life was grand as we scouted the place where a future Gilbert vacation is sure to occur some day.

Then……. We walk back to the car only to find a flat tire…

Yep, the Gilberts have arrived in Pulaski County, VA and we are leaving our mark. From snakes to flat tires, we do know how to disturb the calm in any atmosphere! LOL
