Alabama After the Tornado

2nd Campsite is in Gadsden, AL.
It has been an interesting day. We decided that we wanted to go to Scottsboro, AL to see the place where the airlines bring all the lost items. We made it at 4:30pm after traveling through some very devastated areas. The Tornado did a terrible job in TN. We did not realize it also hit AL.
When we got to Scottsboro, the town was closed. No electricity. No gas except for one station which ran on a generator. When we left town we went through the area which was destroyed. What sadness.
Next, we looked for a camping ground. We found a beautiful one in Gadsden, Alabama. Here's a picture of the waterfall on the grounds. Having a great trip. Seeing our beautiful country.
Going to bed. It is after 10pm!

Day 1

1st campsite is in Dublin,Va. Claytor Lake State Park. Nice clean park with roomy sites. Rain for about 1 hour when we left Willow Valley this am. Good trip nice weather the rest of the way except for a very strong head wind. John says we were dancing all over Rt. 81. We kept it under 65 most of the way. Happy we have this wireless internet so we can be in touch with you. Love, Maria and John

We're going to follow Maria & John as they spend some time traveling across America to visit family, friends, and see the country. See if you can keep up!!
