Oxford, MS- Ole Miss- Sardis Lake

**Gingersquatch** · 02-10-2014, 11:20

We awoke to a bit of snow Saturday morning in Oxford, MS. Nothing extreme or even slick. Just enough to make everything look different and give the neighborhood kids something to play in.

I left the house about 7:30 with plans of heading up on campus to take a few pics and then out to Sardis lake for a short out-n-back to enjoy the white landscapes.

My first stop was The Grove where I snapped this pic of our beloved Walk of Champions. For those unfamiliar, this is where our football team walks through The Grove on gamedays to the cheers of Rebel Nation.

Next stop was Swayze Field. Hard to believe baseball season is a week away.

My last destination before heading to the lake was Rowan Oak. I always imagine Faulkner sitting outside on the porch with a bottle of bourbon.

I finally made it to Sardis Lake around 9:00. I took my usual route from Clear Creek Boat Ramp, headed SE along the beach to a place I call Pine Point. After hanging for about an hour and having a late breakfast, I decided to head back towards my vehicle. Instead of following the shoreline back, I opted to bushwhack along the ridges. It was relatively easy navigating considering all I had to do was keep the lake on my left and walk NW.

What kind of camera did you use to take those pictures?

Nice, HTH! We were supposed to go eat in Oxford Fri night, but plans changed.

Awesome HottyToddyHanger! Shoot me a pm sometime when you are going back out (weekend of course) and maybe I can join you. I am wanting to go explore the Clear Creek Trails as I have not been over there in a while.

I cannot understand how anyone can like Ole Miss.

Go Dogs!!!

I imagine there's a lot you don't understand.

Most of my family is MS State, but our daughter graduated from Ol MS and just moved back to Oxford recently. It gets interesting during the family gatherings!

Just yesterday, my grandson and I watched that old SNL with Christopher Walken's skit "gotta have more cowbell, baby!....... I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell"! Hilarious as always. My grandson informs me they play parts of this at State games!

It is always fun to keep things stirred up. Ole Miss fans are so sensitive. If you are from Mississippi, more than likely you have fans of both schools in your family. I've got cousins and an uncle that went to Ole Miss and my grandmother's brother played football there.
