We have been without internet for several weeks but are finally back in civilization. After a quick weekend home we returned to Gainesville Ga. for several more days. Sat out the rain from hurricane Ida before it became Norida. Visited Amacola Falls again (a great falls) and spent a day at the Atlanta Georgia Aquarium. The largest fish tank in the world holds 6.3 million gallon, has 40,000 fish including four 20' whale sharks and two 12' wing span Manta Rays.
The main tank is as large as a football field and has 24" thick acrylic window walls.
Atlanta is a monster with roads matching Chicago. A challenge for a green RV driver.
Moved from our park like setting to the Bar W ranch in Auburn Al where cows had the right of way, coyotes howled at night, and a bald eagle flew over the RV at breakfast. Spent a day at Tuskegee Institute visiting the George Washington Carver Museum and Booker T Washington's home. Also saw the Tuskegee air squadron field. Nice college campus and interesting men but Tuskegee comes across as a poor rural community. Very contrasting to Auburn University area only 20 miles away. Central Alabama as a whole looks best suited for small ranches with quite a bit of logging and some cotton. One site being excavated had red clay top soil which had the consistency of an unbaked brick.
Our son always thought we were tricking him when we looked for pumpkin men at Halloween. You decide?
Providence Canyon SP near Eufaula (you falla) Al. is a prime erosion example. Formed in 150 years from poor farming practice its sand base has all the colors of the rainbow.
Rural Alabama and Georgia looks pretty poor at first glance but also has gleaming new KIA and Hyundai plants while GM is loosing $1B! Time to move to Gulf Shores Al.
