After our walk on Tuesday, we moved from Greenway Sportsmen's Park in Union Springs to Lake Point State Park near Eufaula, Alabama.
The lake was formed in 1962 when the Corps of Engineers built the Walter F George Dam and gave the lake the same name. People began calling it Lake Eufaula and the name stuck. Walter F George just doesn't roll off the tongue like Lake Eufaula. The folks back in Union Springs said to watch out for alligators in Lake Eufaula and sure enough they are here. In fact, they have a lottery alligator hunt every year. Lucky winner gets to hunt an alligator. The lake also is famous for it's bass and crappie fishing.
It was very cool this morning, in the 40's when we started walking. But the sun was out and not a cloud in the sky, so it warmed up quite a bit.
Today's walk was very much like yesterdays walk, a stroll in the country. At the half way mark, we found a log to sit on for a much needed rest.
Carol and Ruth were waiting for us at the intersection of Highways 82 and 431. On Saturday, we will walk through Eufaula, cross the Chattahoohee River and be in GEORGIA !
The only item we found today was some twine wrapped around an empty caulk container. Stay tuned ...
