I checked the weather in Gadsden driving off the interstate after a 20-minute delay on I-59 for road work – cloudy o rain for three days. Then I noticed the rainbow, which seemed out of place for the situation. Then it started to rain a bit. And by the time we got to the campground, it was heavy. We donned rain coats and ran into the office to register. Just as we got there, the lights went out. And the hail started. How to get into the gated park with no electricity? Umbrellas flying, plants knocked over, trees uprooted – a real doozy.
We went to dinner at Top O’ the River – catfish! – to wait out the storm. Then back to River Country for a riverside site. Very pretty and quiet even though close to I-59.
A quiet night awakened by birds other than Tico. And, of course, Tico. I checked on my current options trade (QQQ iron condor) and made a reservation at Crosby campground in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. John checked his mail and answered an rv yahoo group question about battery meters. Eventually we got it together to head out and get lunch at the Courtyard Cafe (meat and four) in quaint downtown Gadsden & next to dinosaur and art museums! It looked like everyone in town was there. Fried green tomatoes!
