370 Lakeside Park

This was our view as we spent 4 days at this park in St. Peters, MO.  Campsites had full hook-ups and ours overlooked the lake.  The trail around the lake was about 4 miles.  I was taking a walk around the lake when I met up with an elderly gentleman and we struck up a conversation.  His companionship made the walk go by faster and when it was time to depart he put out his hand for us to shake.  Normally, I would not have hesitated but with the current circumstances I had to refuse and he nodded and understood. 

One of the benefits of traveling is the interesting people you meet along the way.  I enjoy talking to people and finding out about their background and fascinating tidbits you find out during the conversation.  There might come a time when I have enough information to sit down and write a book about our adventures and the people we met along the way.

Lakeside Park offers kayak rentals and the pavilions were elegant enough to host a wedding or special event.  There two dog parks, one for large dogs and a separate area for the small dogs. The lamp posts were very unique because on top of each post was a different animal made steel.  My thoughts as I was walking the park were, “This would be such a neat place for a family reunion”.
