Of course the truth is that all of SoWal is special in October. Instead of setting our clocks back on November 7th, I wish we could set our calendar back a month. There are just not enough days in October.
Camp Helen is a special place any time of the year, butlower temps and humidity, and a calm gulf bring magic days and amazing sunsets. Buzzing Dragonflies fill the air and Monarch butterflies flutter through on their great migration.
Be sure to catch the annual Ghost Walk & History Tour at Camp Helen this Saturday, October 9 - park at Winn Dixie on 98 and ride the haunted trolley across the rickety bridge over Lake Powell - just be sure to keep a lookout for the Lake Powell Sea Monster.
