Florence, Alabama-- McFarland City Park

Pulled out of camp at 10AM.Had a rainy 3 1/2 hr drive..Glad we weren't sitting in a camp during the 1/2 day rain..it was warm and the sun finally came out about the time we arrived in Florence, Alabama (with a banjo on our knee)..Was a good travel day..Pulled into camp about 3PM..This is the first camp in weeks where we have tv,internet,phones, hot  & clean showers, fire pits and FHU's all at once..And we're outa the mountain driving !!So to celebrate, we declared an early happy hour.(of course)..with my great senior discount it's only $15/nite (to stay, not the happy hour!)..sites are on the river looking across to magnificent bluffs which show off the strata of the area in reds and browns..At the moment the sun is blazing on the bluffs and it takes your breath away!! Saw several good sized yachts plying the river headed to the city marina that adjoins this park..I'm gonna remember this little gem of a campground..it's close to town too with lots of places to eat and things to do..It's the home of Helen Keller too (makes me wanna move furniture,, don't know why!(grin))If we'd known how nice this place is we would have planned to stay a few more days..Oh well!! Next trip.Continueing to the West in the A.M. to pick up the Natchez Trail SW to Mississippi..REMEMBER, LIVE YOUR DREAM AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY...Charlie & Heather
