I hope you can see how beautiful the leaves are.
There is a store in Scottsboro, AL called Unclaimed Baggage Center. They say this is the only store of this kind in the country. If no one has claimed a piece of luggage in 90 days this store buys it from airlines, cleans the item and sells the merchandise. Curiosity got the best of us so we rented a car Friday and investigated. It resembled a well organized Good Will Store. They had to have purchased overstocked items as sometimes they had several of the same thing. On the return we found another Rosie’s Cantina where we had a delicious meal and a margarita.
Many of these southern counties are dry and you cannot purchase liquor. We went through Huntsville on our way home and it is not dry. We stopped at a liquor store but all they sold was liquor, no wine or beer. He sent us to a grocery store where we were able to purchase beer and wine. I’m not sure I understand their system. Tom remarked on the cost comparison of food to liquor and I have been conservative!
This is our last day at Joe Wheeler Start Park, departure is at daybreak. We have two locks to negotiate and about 75 miles down the Tennessee River to Grand Harbor Marina. Next is the Tombigbee waterway to Mobile. This has been a great facility and relaxing stay in northern Alabama. Time to move on though, and seek new territory and warmer weather.
