Patoka Lake

After binge watching The Night Agent until 1:30 a.m., Heidi and I ventured out today and used my state park pass that I got for Christmas 🎄. We hiked trails 4 and 5 at Patoka Lake State Park before a 🍷 wine tasting at the Patoka Lake Winery.

At the Nature Center, this display of the wing span and the eagle, 🦉 owl, hawk and kestrel was interesting.
Unique old trail number 5 was only a quarter of a mile long featuring a narrow pass through the rocks.
After a wine tasting we each purchased a Slushy Bag to go. Mine was Peanutbutter and Jelly and since it was Mega Monday, I got the 30 ounce bag.

Benny’s Restaurant is next door and you can take your wine with you there if you want. Heidi and I shared a pretzel and beer cheese appetizer and split a bacon, pepper Jack cheeseburger on Texas Toast along with thin onion rings that were superb!

🥨 Buckeyes and 🍺 beer 🧀 cheese!!!
🥓 🍔 🧅…These thin onion rings were a highlight!

We also added a new state park app to our phones and when you get to the visitors center or nature center you enter a PIN number and it shows that you visited that park. Heidi and I are suckers for any type of passport and look forward to visiting and checking in at sever state parks with the app.
