Wind Creek SP, Alexander City, AL - Oct 17-23
Wind Creek SP is located on the shore of Lake Martin, one of AL's largest manmade lakes. AL SPs make one really appreciate the quality and price (when you're over 62) of COE parks. While they are attractive, they are not very well maintained and are quite expensive, with only a puny 15% discount for seniors. Still, it was a good place for a rally, and we enjoyed our time here very much. There was a full slate of events, with morning coffees and afternoon social hours daily. Highlights were a tour of the Blue Bell Creameries (ice cream) in Sylacauga (with tasting included!); a tour of the historic town of Tallassee, including lunch and a tour of the historic Hotel Talisi (this being the original spelling of the word by the Creek Indians who were here first); an evening of rather well-performed Karaoke by the Governor's state park liaison; and a magician who succeeded in befuddling everyone with numerous seemingly impossible tricks, despite the fact that he was just a local yokel. It was fun making new friends and visiting with old friends during the rally. Unfortunately, we had to part with friends Fred & Linda here and don't know when we'll betogether next.
