Since I was a little girl, my family has picnicked at the North Bend Picnic Area near Richwood. Lots of good memories have made it one of my favorite places.
Over Memorial Day weekend, my mom and stepdad and I made a trek there for an evening picnic of Dairy Queen hot dogs and iced tea.
North Bend is a great place to get your feet wet in the river, which I can never resist. If you go down to the river behind the first picnic spot on the left, you can see the remnants of a little rock dam that my four cousins built several years ago. They love the river, too, and will be glad to know part of their project is still standing. There’s a flat rock there that’s good for sitting and appreciating the sound of the river as it goes by.
I always think about the time that Ma-Maw Lipscomb was with us for a picnic and came out of the women’s outhouse screaming and jumping around because she shut herself in there with a mouse.
North Bend is one of those places I go in my mind when I need to de-stress.
P.S. I apologize to my blog followers that so much time has gone by between posts. Life has gotten in the way of blogging, but I hope to catch up this week. Thanks for sticking with me!
