Devils Den only 98 more to go

Devils Den was so awesome! I cannot rave enough about how beautiful it was there. Here is the link to their website http://www.arkansasstateparks.com/devilsden/ We could have stayed a month there. The bathrooms were very clean and very nice. There was a group of us who went to Devils Den. My family and three of my girlfriends went with us. I have some of the best friends and I love and cherish them, they make everything fun. It's a 5 hour drive. We went on July 11th. It was hotter than a 4 balled tom cat when we went. We brought the pop up thank God. The campsite was right next to the bathrooms and I would suggest getting that site. Right behind our camp site was a nice trail head to a hiking trail. The trail head when right down to a creek that was perfect for any family to swim and get your feet wet, we tried to take full advantage of that. One of my friends that went with us brought a disco ball. We hung it up right next to the fire and when night fell and the light from the fire hit the disco ball we felt like we were at a rave. We even had glow sticks. The kids and hubs had a blast and so did I. We ate until we couldn't eat any more that day. My 3 girlfriends brought tents and my daughter wanted to sleep in the tent with one of my friends. I certainly let her. On the first night when everyone was going to sleep, one of my friends and I decided to go exploring just because. I had a head lamp on and it didn't aluminate very well. We were trying to go down to the creek so we could go swimming. We never found the creek but we did walk a country mile in flip flops and a poorly lit head lamp. It was falarious. We did a lot of dancing and played corn hole. If you are not familiar with corn hole here is a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornhole It’s a fun game that anyone could enjoy. We were so freakishly hot and sweaty it was disgusting. We hiked about 3 miles of the butterfield hiking trail but because it was so hot it zapped the energy out of all of us. We ate lunch on the hike and the puppy as a hit there as well. He is getting rather large now and still doesn't listen to me. He swam and swam in the water. I don't think he wanted to leave either. I would highly recommend Devils Den to anyone. It is breathtaking there. It's defiantly God's country.
