18-20 October 2014 Chattanooga - Goose Creek Marina

        We left Chattanooga after visiting for a week although we planned to spend only a few days.  Look forward to returning there to see and do more in that fascinating city. 

     

      As we leisurely cruise west on our way south, we continue to relish the craggy, yet verdant,  rises on the horizon profiled against  a cobalt sky.

          Saturday, we arrived in Scottsboro, AL, at Goose Pond Marina.  Tomorrow, Monday, we'll continue our migration.  Today we hiked 5 ½ miles on trails in Goose Pond Plantation along the shore line, past the immaculate golf course, and through the campground.  We often hear friends rave about their visits to this area we we had to investigate it for ourselves.  We've loved this stop for its hushed solitude and natural vistas.

      Today on our hike we enjoyed these little PVC pipe people decked out for this beautiful fall season.

     These darling fall figures have no top to their heads.  Maybe that's how thoughts escape.

      We thought thought they needed something to keep their thoughts intact so we loaned them our lids that keep us our thoughts and ideas under cover.

      This evening we'd like to share our "back yard" with you.  

          Tomorrow, Monday the 20th, we'll continue to Florence, AL, intending to arrive Thursday, the 23rd, and spend several days exploring that area.

Happy Fall!
