ADVENTURE LOCATION:
DECATUR, ALABAMA
POINT MALLARD CAMPGROUND
NOVEMBER 13, 2024
A much different walk happened this morning. We got out on time and made the trash run to the dumpsters in cool weather but still very nice. When we got to the trail along the creek we followed it for a while to a log full of turtles sunning themselves.
Check out all the turtles on the log but all around that log about twenty feet out from the log must have been fifty more turtles slowly circling the log. As you can imagine it was quite a turtle convention going on. That was a new event to the OFM.
Right after the turtles we ran into a nice local fellow and we spent about forty minutes standing around discussing life and living here all his 60+ years so far. It was a wonderful morning visiting with him until he had to head back home. Now we know a good bit more about this swamp around here.
On down the trail a bit we found where some trail walkers have started putting lost bird feathers under vines wrapping the tree trunk. This is new this year we think because we had not seen it being done before in the 13 years we have been walking this trail.
And finally tonight the OFM got this picture of the recently cleared trail going into the south end of the campground. It looks a lot better and walks a lot better without the five inches of leaves on top of the gravel trail.
We have no plans about tomorrow yet so we might have a blank screen for tomorrow. YA THINK SO?
We'll be here if you think of something to write... That was a lot of turtles in one place!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have pleasant trails right outside your door. Turtle mania! I quite like the feather stash.
