Sunday was a moving day from Clinton, Mississippi to Coffeeville Lake Service Park (US Corps of Engineers) on the banks of the Tombigbee River, 20 miles into Alabama on route 84 east.  The place is deserted and quiet.  Our spot is right on the river, 30 yards maybe.  Wonderful moon rises last night and tonight.  Since this is a government park it is very clean, very scenic, with 50 amp power and tasty water but NO sewer!!! According to the camp host, Don Johnson, "they ran outta money" when the park was remodeled a couple of years ago. (When is the last time you heard of a government project running out of funds, they OWN the printing press!!!)  There is a shower house right across the street so we will limit water usage in the motor home to bathroom and kitchen use.

Today we started on route 28 a mile west of Summerland and walked to a point about a mile east of Laurel on route 84 east.  When the day was over we had 22.5 miles (36.2903 km's), expending 45,399 steps and picking up $0.96 consisting of 65 coins, a new Walk record.  Findings for the day: 1 1/2" socket, 1 Pro V1 (rather beat up), 3 dimes, 1 nickel and 61 pennies! (all but 1 dime and 6 pennies were found in one group at one intersection.  I guess someone got tired of carrying around the penny jar and just dropped it.  Wildlife sighted: several vultures perched in a tree and several deer on the way home tonight.  Due to the late hour and travel time we stopped in Waynesboro, MS for dinner at Huff & Puff's BBQ, YUM!!!  Tomorrow will head back to Laurel and put in another 20 something.  See ya'll down the road...CHEERS!!!
