Our trusty GPS told us that the fastest way to get from North Carolina to Alabama was to go back through Virginia. That seemed just wrong! Not only that, but we had to wind our way over a few mountains to do it. As we slowly left North Carolina, Virginia (again), Tennessee, and Georgia in our wake, passing a plethora of infrastructure projects, we left the interstates behind in Alabama for our final nine miles. But, of course, one final hurdle...a mountain slide has taken out the road to the park. We found a back road with a sign “Absolutely No Trucks on this Road.” It wasn’t as bad as it could have been, and in one optimistic moment Deb said, “We’ve been on worse!”
Our gnarly inverter popped on of it’s wires, but it was quickly fixed. We had defrosted a chicken breast that turned out to be chicken legs, but it still made a pretty good Curried Chicken dinner. For Alabama, this is quite a campground, with camp WiFi(sort of), full hook ups, and even cable. We caught the last half hour of “Bohemian Rapsody,” one of Deb’s all time favorite films.
This is our first two night stop, but the rain has literally dampened our hiking hopes. By mid-morning the rains were pretty much gone and we were able to do some fall watching.
We found out that the WiFi is in the bathrooms. I’m not sure I need to understand the correlation! Anyway we moved our RV to a site closer to the restrooms and were able to get solid WiFi.
We are keenly aware of the fact that severe weather is moving our way and is going to be a factor in getting to Jackson, MS, our next stop. Our plan is to leave early enough to avoid the brunt of it, but we are going to be cautious.
