Moving day again. Today's drive was just 99.3 miles (75,435.6 total) to another Corps of Engineers park. Gunter Hill Park on the Alabama River (actually, Catoma Creek) just west of Montgomery, AL was another beauty! Huge, level concrete pads with full hookups right on the lake - what more could we ask for?
As Joani said, the nice thing about Corps parks is their 3:00 pm check-out time and the bad thing about the parks is their 3:00 pm check-out time. Since we crossed into Central Time, we arrived at noon. We had to wait in a large parking area for our site to clear.
When you take your house with you, sitting in a boat launch parking lot for 3 hours is no big deal.
Just to the side of the parking lot was an interesting find. I would hate to be in the storm...
...that brought down this tree taking out the boardwalk to nowhere.
The fall color was nice from our site. Unfortunately, the weather forecast included rain for the next several days so there may not be a lot of hiking.
All of the rain, fortunately, was pretty soft and gentle. The wind (15 mph), however, caused pine cones to crash on the coach that made us jump out of our skin!
I'm so looking forward to seeing the sunshine on the trees across the river. It might not show up for 3 more days!
