Stony Fork State Park, Jefferson National Forest, Wytheville, VA

July 19, 2008

The Stony Fork volunteer caretaker greeted us at the gate in his golf cart. Told us to find a site and it was fine if we paid for the site the following day. $22/night for water and electric. Paved roads to gravel sites.

The campground was chockfull of Warren Jeffs runaways. Gaggles of young girls with hair down past their waists, secured neatly by 1 barrette. Long dresses and sensational smiles that could easily connote obliviousness towards modern luxuries like HBO and WIFI.

The park also had a nice spattering of wildlife. Wedged between the double metal $2 fee signs beside the dump station we discovered 2 squealing tiny baby bats, big as my thumb.
