Joe Wheeler State Park (day 8)
Rogersville, Alabama

Last night was cold and the prediction for tonight is for a hard frost. The good news is the weather will start to warm up into the 50’s early in the week.

Greg acquired an SUV and drove the six of us into Florence where we found a five star Bar-B-Q stand. This wasn’t a sit down restaurant but they had outside tables and take out. From there we did a little shopping before returning to the boat. We also stopped at the University of North Alabama campus to visit their mascots a pair of twin Lions, one male the other female. The campus was beautiful and the enclosure for the Lions was very elaborate.

We are now waiting for the Flints to arrive back to their boat that’s docked close by. We are planning on traveling together as we head to Chattanooga on the Tennessee River and then back to the Tenn-Tom and on to the Gulf and beyond. Stay tuned as tomorrow will revel what is to come!
