Having an anniversary at the end of March allows us to spend time together in all kinds of weather. We signed up for a cabin at the Lake Cumberland State Park in February not knowing what the weather would be like. Our anniversary turned out to be one of the nicest days in March.

The day after our anniversary, we hiked in the rain; not too cold but not ideal. We were soaked and fortunately could change our clothes and dry out. It has been said if you don’t like the weather, just wait and it will change.

We have been to Lake Cumberland in the past and enjoyed our time here. This is a vacation destination for Kentucky and is known as the houseboat capital. Certainly, the 101-mile-long lake is good for boating. That was not why we came, and it was before boating season opened. We enjoy hiking and just getting away for a few days. We were able to do that at a cabin near the lake.

Other fun:

We played disc golf near the lodge.  It was challenging and fun to play this course. We played late in the day and saw the deer come out to also enjoy the course, although I did not see them with any discs.

The Lake Bluff and the Baugh Branch hiking trails were good. We got turned around a little on the Lake Bluff trail with all the leaves and the periodic stops near the road. We consulted our maps and made our way alright.

The Lake Bluff trail has several good views of all the boat docks, which go on for quite a while.

Spring was beginning just as we got to the lake. It was exciting for us to see the signs of spring as we hiked along. Several of the trees were budding and the redbuds were coming out.

No biking on this trip. See you on the road soon.
