Mohican State Park and Pralines Gets a Hair Cut

 On Monday decided to spend the day at Mohican State Park.  Our first stop was to drop Pralines off at the groomers downtown Loudenville.  As usual, she wasn't thrilled to go, but being well versed in going to the groomer, every month since she was 9 weeks out, she submitted to the bath and cut.
She was to be done at 3:00 p.m., so that gave us plenty of time to explore the state park.

Mohican State Park comprised of 1,110 acres with 5 miles of the scenic Clear Fork Branch of the Mohican River running through it.  The Mohican Memorial State Forest surrounds the park with 4,795 acres.   We had a beautiful drive.

The forest was gorgeous!.  We stopped at a lookout and here are a couple of pictures.

There was a beautiful lake and many people enjoying boating.

In the middle of this beautiful forest we followed the signs to the Mohican State Park and Conference Center.
Mohican State Park & Conference Center has been a favorite getaway spot for more than 30 years.  Its history goes all the way back to the 1920's when Mohican State Forest was established in this dramatic forested gorge bordering he Clear Fork of the Mohican.  This conference center was built in the 1972.  Sorry I don't have a picture of the Lodge.  Take my word for it, it was a beautiful lodge, a little dated, but I would stay there in a minute.  There was a group of cars in the parking lot that caught Bob's eye:

This is a Hurst Olds Cutlass, notice the gearshift.  I don't know why, but Bob said that is why he took a picture of the inside.

This is a 1962 Chevy and it reminded Bob of a car a friend, (Dallas Moore) once had.

 

This is a 1957 Chevy.

We decided to have lunch at the lodge.  The service was terrible!!! No fault of the waitress.  There was one of her and a dozen or so tables with large groups.  She told us when she seated us it would be a long wait.  She was right.  The view was beautiful, over looking the lake and forest and the food was good.  I tried it again, if we are in the area.

After lunch we headed back to get Pralines.  She was none too happy.  Well, I guess she was happy to get out of there but....they put pink bows in her hair and she was cut way too short.  She hated her hair cut.  I told her about Heather's hair cut right before she had Asher.  She didn't seem to care!!! I told her it would grow back.
