and it was a very nice surprise. Some of the State Parks are quite primative, this one however, was on the edge of a lake, with a definate warning posted ( see picture #1 ). It turns out the warning was primarly for the back waters and rivers of the lake, so we were FAIRLY safe. Leaving there on Sunday morning got us into Troy Alabama, our "home" for the next 3 months at about 1:00. The whole area between Georgia and Troy is Pecan trees and cotton fields. The bottom pic is of a truck with cotton bales aboard. These are about 8 feet in diameter and baled with a machine much the same as a hay or straw baler, but rolled off the side rather than the rear. We're getting settled in so to speak and had supper at Santa Fe's last night with two other of "the group". A Thanksgiving Dinner is planned in the rec hall for Thursday ( ladies please provide side dishes and desserts). The weather at the moment ( 10:45 CST) is sunny and 73F :-)
