Back to Mount Magazine

We just got home from a weekend getaway to Mount Magazine.  After consulting the blog for reference, I realized it was exactly 3 years since our first trip.  This time, we went with the Fowlkes and stayed in a cabin instead of in the lodge.  It was so nice to have our own space and still have access to the lodge amenities.  If you are looking for a place to get away and unplug (not literally - there's electricity and WiFi), I highly recommend it! It is only a 2 hour drive from WLR.  Now for the pics...

We made it up the mountain on Friday night just at sunset.  After looking at the weekend weather forecast, I was afraid this was the only glimpse of sunshine we would have the entire weekend.

The wet weather held off long enough on Saturday morning for us to take a quick hike up Signal Hill to the highest point in Arkansas.

Found a geocache near the top

Clouds rolling in at the Lodge

Nathan, Evan, and Ashley enjoying the big, indoor pool.  (That's Will swimming out of the frame.)

We asked someone to take a picture of all eight of us.  That never happens!

Flashback to 2009

And here we are today

The rain turned into sleet overnight and coated the trees - but thankfully NOT the roads - with some ice.  We made it down the mountain with no problems and are looking forward to another trip.
