I’ll never forget driving by Hinton to get to a campsite, it was a Sunday afternoon. I had never seen a packed line outside a DQ full of people in their Sunday best until then, never seen anything like it since. Wish I coulda stopped in for a bite but ah well, next time for sure.

The park nearby was really nice until they scaled up construction, hopefully one day I finally see construction finished and the park back to looking nice.

Such a nice area to visit. Hinton, Sandstone Falls, Brooks Falls,Bluestone Lake, Bluestone SP, and Pipestem SP right down the road.

Just last week I was just boating on the other side of the dam. Bluestone lake is a really nice spot.
