]]> 28 Pinhoti Trail Hike Heflin, Alabama http://thatsavagelife.com/pinhoti-trail-hike-heflin-alabama/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=pinhoti-trail-hike-heflin-alabama http://thatsavagelife.com/pinhoti-trail-hike-heflin-alabama/#respond Wed, 04 Dec 2013 15:00:59 +0000 http://happilyuprooted.com/?p=1639 We love to hike! It is mostly free and great exercise! Plus, you get to see beautiful parts of the country that you wouldn’t get to see from traveling the roadway! This last week we traveled to the Talladega National Forest and hiked part of the Pinhoti Trail near Heflin, Alabama. I say part of because the trail itself is part of the Southern Appalachian long distance hiking trail. The trail we hiked was 5 miles of the full 335 mile trail! We began planning our Pinhoti Trail hike online over at www.pinhotitrailalliance.org, where maps, history, and activities can be found.  From Oxford, Alabama we initial traveled to what we thought was an entrance to the trail near the gps coordinates: 33.753866, -85.572786 which turned out to be an to check biology stations. The well marked entrance to the trail that we found with the help of some locals was located near the Coleman Lake Campground (33.786870, -85.565831). We did not stay in the campground, but portions of it were visible from the trail. For those of you with longer recreations vehicles, be aware that it was designed for RVs no more than 35ft in length. Once we located the trail and began our hike,  we discovered that it was well-marked and well-kept! As beginner hikers with kids we found the trail to be an easy and fun outing that took us around 4 hours at a leisurely pace. Altogether, we did 2.5 miles in and turned around and did 2.5 miles out.   Photos From the Pinhoti Trail

Pinhoti Trail
The Pinhoti Trail: Pine Glen to Sweetwater Lake is a 5 mile out and back trail located near Heflin, Alabama and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking and is accessible year-round.

The kids, now 5 and almost 7 years old, really enjoyed this hike! There were hills and valleys, lakes and creeks, tiny foot bridges, plenty of places to sit and enjoy a snack while checking out the scenery.

This can sometimes be taxing on the wallet if we are not careful. We do our best to save money while traveling and this is how! Most of these suggestions are geared toward RV travel, but A few of these can even apply to road trips, boat trips and plane trips!! Do YOU have some money-saving travel tips? I would love to hear them! Leave me a comment! 1) Snacks: Always bring our own snacks! We pack snack baggies with vegetables, fruit, crackers and other easy, healthy snack foods. 2) Meals: Make lunch ahead of time! Before we pack the RV up and move it I always make lunches and dinners that don’t require electricity to heat or that can be eaten cold! This helps because by time you get hungry you just want something easy and FAST to eat… which often leads to eating at a restaurant! Our Summer Pasta Salad is GREAT for this! 3) Sleep: If the weather is nice. If it isn’t too hot or too cold you can look for FREE or cheap overnight parking! Our personal favorite is Wal-Mart parking lot, but the list is endless! All you have to do is call ahead and ask the manager! We have had great luck with Home Depot parking lots as well! When you are in the western part of the country BLM land is available to use! If for some reason the weather is not suitable for boondocking then look for local cities that offer CHEAP overnight RV sites with full hook-ups! We have seen these sites in Nebraska, Kansas, and Armor, South Dakota. They are usually fairgrounds or city parks. Boondockers Welcome is a great site for boondocking! 4) Fuel: We use apps such as GasBuddy to show us the cheapest gas and diesel in the area! Three cents doesn’t sound like much, but when you put thousands of miles in over a year it adds up quickly! Check out this ProTip! If you’re below half a tank, and you’re getting close to a state line, use GasBuddy to see what the prices are like on both sides of the state line. Because of state taxes, one will usually be a much better deal. 5) Entertainment: While traveling from one destination to the next we look for free entertainment in the cities we are passing through! This could be a museum, train depot, or live music. The possibilities are endless! Check local Chamber of Commerce websites and city websites to see what is going on! Another useful app is Trip Advisor and Yelp! 6) Entertainment: We rent Redbox movies in one town and drop them off in another town along the trip! The boys watch movies while we are traveling and love to add new movies! Bonus: I don’t have to hear it or see the same movie 5 million times in a row! If you are thrifty you can often find codes online for free rentals, especially if you have the RedBox app. 7) Toys: We often rotate toys out before a road trip. We buy them second-hand or at a garage sale and then donate them when the kids tire of them. This cuts costs AND clutter and the kids feel like it is Christmas every time we get new toys! 8) Fuel: Maintain your speed to conserve fuel! Studies show that the faster and more erratic you drive the more fuel you burn! Fuel isn’t cheap so keep your foot off the pedal and use cruise control when possible! 9) Maintenance: Always check your tires, tire pressure, oil, and DEF if you have it before hitting the road! These simple things can save you from having to pay a tow truck driver and from having costly repairs on the road! 10) Season: If at all possible travel in off-peak season! For us this is impossible because we follow the work, but for others who are location independent this could save a ton of money! BONUS: local attractions will be less crowded! **How do YOU like to save money while traveling whether it be in an RV, boat, plane or car?? ** [wp_ad_camp_3]

The boys and I decided to check it out while Patrick was at work. The gardens were beautiful and well kept, but what the kids REALLY loved was the Paul Smith Children’s Village. As we entered the children’s village we were met with blooming flower, plant, and vegetable gardens! The three-quarter acre piece of land was jam-packed with interactive things for children to do! The 1930’s era building located in the rear of the gardens has an old rock wall attached to it that forms the “secret garden”. Even as an adult it felt like something straight out of a children’s book. Built into the side of the “secret garden” was a puppet theater where Grant made a new friend: Mr Rabbit. They enjoyed singing together and making jokes! Owen also joined in on the puppetry fun! In the midst of the natural wetlands was a bridge that the kids had to pull from one side of the pond to the other to load and off-load each other. The boys had so much fun on this and made a ton of friends! And of course there was FLOWERS! I especially loved this part of our adventure! While the kids played checkers and tic-tac-toe I walked around and enjoyed nature’s beauty! If you are in the Cheyenne, Wyoming area and are looking for something to do you should check out the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens! The best part is it is free! **Do you like our posts?
