Unique Town Names 11-30-07

We gotta get better at this leaving early stuff. EJ woke up at 7am and asked me if I was awake. I said no. (How'd I do that if I wasn't awake?) Next time we both woke up it was 8am and 45 degrees outside. It was 11:45 before we left the campground.


One of the reasons we took so long to leave is that EJ offered sausage gravy and there was no way I could turn that down. Breakfast was great as you can see from the picture. Sausage gravy, grapefruit and blackberry jelly on biscuits. Yumm again!!.






Our big surprise for the day was when we woke up and looked out the window, we found we were camped on a peninsula. There were only 4 RVs in the whole campground.It was dark when we got in last night,but we were immediately greated by our campground host Duwayne Dubose. He made sure we got settled in, gave us a trash bag and brochure and took our money.




When we walked around the campground this morning we saw brightly decorated birdhouses everywhere. It turns out that there were 114 of them. Childrendecorated them when they visited here.



Some of the towns we passed by today were Burnt Corn, Grave Hill, SOso, and Hot Coffee. We kid you not!

We pulled into Clear Springs Recreation Area Campground area after dark and took the first spot we found. We went for a walk after we set up and with no streetlights it was dark. On our walk we heard a huge rustling off the side of the road in front of us. EJ immediately jumped behind Frank offering him up as bear food when out of theleaves strolled a possum. We had a good laugh and waited for our hearts to settle back into a normal rythmn before continuing on.
