Leg #2

Today we drove to Decatur and Point Mallard Campground. This campground saw the demise of my humerus bone in my left shoulder. I'm anxious to see my friend, Scott. He's the gentleman who took such good care of us during our unplanned seven nights at Point Mallard in January. He went so far above and beyond that it's hard to find words to describe it. When Mary Ellen called the office to warn them that an ambulance was on the way, Scott got to our campsite before the ambulance arrived. He unhooked the truck, set up our camper, brought a propane tank, acted as a chauffeur, and stopped at our campsite at least three times a day to see if there was anything he could do. These things weren't in his job description. Neither was the phone call I got from him a few weeks ago. He just wanted to know how I was doing. Scott is just a genuinely caring man. We will always stay at this campground whenever we're in Alabama. Scott will be here for a visit tomorrow.

Last nite we saw a beautiful sunset. It's now my new wallpaper on my Macbook. I was up at five this morning, and shortly thereafter we had a visitor from the farm next to us. It was a beautiful Paint horse just like the Lone Ranger's friend Tonto used to ride. You may remember "get um up Scout". After thirty minutes a pretty young lady carrying a bridle came to the campground to reclaim "Scout". I had to laugh that she was carrying the bridle behind her back as she approached "Scout". She knew that this pretty horse would probably make a quick exit if he saw the bridle coming. But Scout didn't see it coming, and shortly she was leading him back to where he lived. Thus began another quiet day on the road to Decatur.

It was 83 degrees and sunny when we arrived. The weather must have brought out a lot of locals for the weekend. There are very few if any sites available. They have 168 sites. Glad to see this lovely campground make some money. Scott needs a raise!

It's supposed to rain tomorrow. Severe thunderstorms are predicted from Decatur to Bowling Green, KY. We're planning to be at the KOA in B.G. tomorrow. We're hoping for another uneventful day.
