Which makes perfect sense as it’s also Cousin Larry’s birthday! 78 tours around the sun! We went down to celebrate with him, camped in his driveway & went to dinner at Pirates Cove! Again – perfectly appropriate place!
The following night we camped at Machicomoco state park. We went for a bluegrass music night, which unbeknownst to us, had been reschefuled for the next night… So instead we sat outside in our nice new camp chairs with their own adjustable sun shades!
Saturday we went to 211 SR-1015, Warsaw Virginia to walk the Enchanted Trails with the boyz! Pupsters had a blast, as did we! Debbie & Leo had found The Enchanted Forest and told us we had to visit, and we are so glad we did!

What IS the Enchanted Forest, you ask? Well this lady captures it perfectly!
The delighted screams of children echo through the forest, as dappled sunlight shines down on their excited faces. Running through trails, kids shout in exhilaration as they spot their favorite storybook or television character. The amused adults accompanying them stand similarly in wonder, looking about as they reconnect with cartoon heroes from their childhoods, mystical spirits, local landmarks, and gorgeous wildlife all hand carved into dozens of tableaus in the trees around them.
It is a magical scene, and while it may sound like a fairytale, this reality plays out on almost any sunny day — and it is not in some grand theme park, but rather it is in a small woodland, hidden on a side road in the quaint town of Warsaw, Virginia and known to all as “The Enchanted Forest.”
