South Abutment Campground - Arkabutla Lake, MS

Wow...have fallen way behind on writing but have not had the opportunity to camp near as much as we would like.  I am taking full-time classes at Northwest MS CC and have to fit camping into school holidays or weekends.  That's going to go on for 2 more semesters :(  

We were able to get away a couple of weeks ago to one of our favorite campgrounds near to home - South Abutment at Arkabutla Lake.  I still had to leave on Friday morning and go to my Calculus class, but we needed a few more supplies so I did a little shopping on my way back to the campground.

We camped in a new spot this time - an interior slot, not backed up to the water.  It can get very windy on the water spots and this one had good shade and lots of side yard area.

We were able to do a little bike riding around the campground loops and even went across the dam into Dub Patton campground.  On one of our walks around the campground loops, we met the volunteer camp host and found out she had lived not too far from us before her husband and she had sold their house to workcamp at Arkabutla.  Had a great surprise Saturday morning as youngest stepson and grandson came for a visit.

If the weather holds up, we hope to squeeze in another outing here before Thanksgiving.  This park is very close to home, but it's just so much more relaxing to spend your time in a chair next to the campfire.
