The trip to Barren River Lake State Park would have been better if more kids from church had gone. We only had 4 kids, even though 15 signed up. I don’t know why more people didn’t show up. Maybe they woke up, saw it was overcast and decided not to go. It rained when we first got up there, but after about 45 minutes it dried up. We hiked; the kids rode horses (at $12 each, this was too expensive for me). I had a good time, although I felt it could have been much better. Better planning, better weather, better timing….
I should have called some friends from Scottsville to make it more interesting. I didn’t know many of the people who went very well. I did get to know them better, but some of them are on a different wavelength than I am.
The official name for this place is “Barren River Lake State Park.” Is it a river or lake? More of a lake which once was a river. It should have been called Barren Lake just to make it easier on everyone.
