River Barge

 

Adventure Location:

Decatur, Alabama

Date: October 21, 2023

Today was Fall Festival so we made a point to stay away form the mass packed campground most of the day. We got up a bit late and had breakfast then gathered some stuff for the dumpster to donate to the local landfill. Then headed off in Sierra for the far end of the trails parking lot to enjoy a nice walk. The cool air and bright sun made it a very nice day of walking.

The walking was all on asphalt road and no vehicle traffic. It is the maintenance road around the golf course but all we had today was walkers for the whole 2 miles. Here is a nice picture of the typical scene along this portion of the walking trails.

Some days bikers ride on the path also but none today. We turned around at the pump house that is about halfway around the loop and headed back when a nice barge tow came into view on the Tennessee River near us,

That is the first one we have seen in a few years. Mean while we are still trying to get windows 11 installed on the computer and are still frustrated. So lunch time came and we headed to Burger King in Priceville for lunch and may run into our gossip pal Jerry. And he was there with lots of interesting stories of his life in the area. We made hot air for almost three hours. He is a connoisseur of of garage sales and things like that. He got some really good buys on tools this morning and we went through most of his purchases for the fun of it.

Back home mid afternoon and Windows installation is still running. Will it never end????

That means this was an easy going day all day for a change and it was nice. Everyone be safe and have tooooo much fun if you can.
