There Be Horses Here at Paul M. Grist State Park

Eric and I had our pick of camp sites at Paul M. Grist State Park and were just settling in when a fifth wheel type of camper pulled in.  It was short for a fifth wheel.  It had small windows at the rear.  We thought it might by a toy box fifth wheel.  The back of the rig was opened up and horses were brought out.  Eric and are long time campers and have enjoyed New York State Parks for many years, but have never seen horses being off loaded at a campground.

campsites over!

Alabama State Parks welcome horses.  They advertise horse trails.

This is neat!
