Corinth Recreation Area, Double Springs, AL

When we left Demopolis, AL this morning on 43, north to 20, bypass around the west side of Tuscaloosa and back on 43 to 13 to 278 to county road 57, great roads.
Saturday, May 1 On my bike ride around the campground I met Eddie who lives outside the campground, down the road and around the corner, so had someone to ride with which made for a good ride.
Went to town for fuel, few grocery, auto parts, and eat lunch, we ate lunch at the Double Springs Cafe  (where everything is good) and lots of local character also.
Sunday, May 2 It has been cloudy all morning, started raining after noon, front passing thru
Monday, May 3 Today was a beautiful day to be outside and enjoying it.

We arrived around noon, great roads from Citronelle to here 96 to 43 to 80 to Demopolis.  I passed some of the Tampa Bay buzzards migrating North, so we aren't to far behind.
There are quite a few trees damaged by the high winds that passed thru here yesterday.

The original fork in the road

Tuesday, April 27  The challenge is on to find the Fork in the Road.

John & Sue
We can't believe that the two of you would try to decieve us!  We want positive proof such as a $100 bill laying beside the fork in the road when you take the picture.

I guess anyone who would try to trick us into listening to a GAY book would be capable of such a deed!

Buddy & Patsy

The Fork in the Road

After 3 days of searching every road in the campground and 1 clue, we found the fork in the road.

We ate lunch at Smokin Jack's BBQ, I had Catfish, butter beans, turnip greens, hushpuppys, & good water.  I would give it 5 stars, could be the best catfish I have ever eaten.

Lakeview RV Park, Citronelle, AL

Called Mike when we were close to his house in Citronelle and he lead us to the campground, because of the work on the dam for the lake we had to go in the back way.

Nice site new cement slab, 50 amp, sewer, water, it has it all except for water in the lake.
Saturday, April 24  Around 3:00 am Sue's weather radio went off & shortly after the hail started, it sounded like golf ball size in the RV but was probable pea size.
We ate lunch at the Sugar Creek Catfish House in Citronelle and I would give it a numbers of stars, as a mater of fact I haven't eaten at a better catfish place.

Eastbank COE

Eastbank COE 2010

We arrived here at Eastbank campground before noon, and got set up, Sue has been on ant patrol.
Went for a bike ride made a loop from the campground thru Chattahoochee and back.
The campground is the fullest I have seen it in the number of times that we have been here.
Would you believe, Butthead's BBQ & Grill in downtown Chattahoochee, FL is open for lunch Tue- Fri and Fri evenings only and we will be here Sat., Sun., Mon only.  And it looks like my kind of place, how disappointing.

From Eastbank COE 2010

Sunday, April 18  Went for 1 1/2 hour walk this morning.   They have planted hundreds of Dogwoods in this campground and they all look as healthy like the one in the picture.  The Spring should really be pretty here in a few years.  It seems to me that I have notice more public projects than in the past years city park improvements, road projects, tree plantings, some campground expansion & refer bushing,  etc. Went for a couple of nice bike rides, there are a few hills that I have to use my lowest gear.

Monday, April 19 Went for our morning walk, at noon we went downtown Chattahoochee to Jerry's for buffet lunch & fuel.

Suwannee River Hideaway

Suwannee River Hideaway 2010

Left home this morning after our walk and arrived at Suwannee River Hideaway and it was still morning. We ate lunch then went for a bicycle ride on the Nature Coast Bike Trail, no hills here.
Friday, April 16  Rode the bike trail again today, and went to Wal Mart.
Saturday, April 17  When I was preparing for a quite early morning departure (daylight) and storing stuff, hose, electrical etc. I leaned against my key thingamajig and set off the truck alarm, it took me a few minutes to figure out who did it.  I'll bet it didn't take the sleeping neighbors long to figure out who did it.

Ready Set Go

From Drop Box

We are spending the night in the RV, spent the whole day readying things for Thursday departure.

The Count Down

The tentative departure date of April 15 is fast approaching. We will be taking a round about route through the Panhandle and Alabama on the way to Pineola, NC, we should be able to make there it by June.
