Lot Of Visiting

ADVENTURE LOCATION:

DECATUR, ALABAMA

POINT MALLARD CAMPGROUND

OCTOBER 20, 2024

We got going reasonably early this morning and made a loop through the campground to the dumpsters and out the back gate of the campground down along the water and back up to the Castle in the campground. 2.5 miles of good walking turned out to be the distance. That is good enough for this OFM.

Along the trail two snakes were spotted. The creek is way down and the water snakes have lost their normal living rooms. One was about nine inches long scurrying across the path. The next one was about two feet long and .75 inches diameter. A very non-aggressive by its actions snake. A woman passing by was ready to try to kill it but the OFM interfered. The snake was not acting bad just wanting to cross the trail. These snakes eat too many bad bugs and bad rodents to be killing them just for crossing a trail. Any way the snake got to live another day and posed for this picture. Its head is on the leaf on far left.

This evening we went to put more trash in the dumpsters. That ten minute one way walk turned into over two hours of visiting with newly arriving campers. It was great hearing the great stories these folks had to tell. And we picked up some more blog readers.

You might say it was a wonderful day. Good night every one.
