Phil slept in late while I got up to make coffee and take some pics. Once we got up and moving, walked around downtown Boonville to check out local shops. Went to this shop called Persnickety that had lots of country home decor and gifty things. Got our first souvenirs of the trip. Decided to check out the enormo cemetery nearby- which turned out to be not such a good idea. With lots of steep hills and very narrow driveways, this place was pretty confusing and difficult to get out of- especially when you find yourself facing an old woman who can't drive and there is nowhere else to go or turn around. Phil had to back her car up all the way down a very steep and curvy road. She was nice about it, but it sure was our little adventure of the morning. We decided to get the hell outta there or we'd probably get trapped there forever. Made some delish sandwiches back at the cabin. Hung out and relaxed more for awhile, then decided we needed dessert before dinner. Headed to Mercer's Dairy for the most delish ice cream we've ever tasted. Phil got "Wishy-licious" and I got a scoop of Cotton Candy and a scoop of Dino Crunch- amazing. Drove out to Pixley Falls State Park and followed a short but steep trail down to the falls.
Took some awesome pictures and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Next, drove through Delta Lake State Park, got out to walk the beach a little bit and take more pics. Found out the sunken village of Delta is at the bottom of the lake! Phil says "There's something for you all to look up on Wikipedia!" Once the sun started setting, headed back to camp for burgers on the grill- with REAL bacon just for Philly. (Don't worry Uncle Bob, we bought our own! Your pkg of bacon is still safely in the fridge.) Phil built another fire with logs that he (quite proudly) found and split himself, and we enjoyed this for some time... with more mimosas. I figured I would go inside after a bat tried to crawl up my arm, so we retired for the evening.
