ramblingriggs: Sunshine and Whiskey

I think there's a country music song for just about anything in life. Sunshine and Whiskey by Frankie Ballard popped into my head when I reflect on the long weekend back in July at Chain O'Lakes State Park in Alboin.

Every year we plan a trip with our friends and this year we decided to try some place new. We have never been to Chain O' Lake State Park and so enjoyed our time there. The weather for the weekend was just perfect. Warm enough during the day for a swim in the lake and cool enough at night for a nice fire.

My friend Don introduced us to Bird Dog Chocolate Whiskey. I didn't think I was much of a whiskey drinker until I met the Bird Dog. We had a great day of "day drinking" (other country song by Little Big Town, I might add...see there really is a country song for everything!) and forgot about reality for a while.

The park was awesome. The campsites were roomy. The lake was warm. And the company was fantastic! Here's to over 20 plus years of friendship with this group and to making more camping memories together.
