Stop 2: Florence Marina

Our first day after the Festival, and the plan is gone. Though Sharon was interested in future stops.

The day started with a wonderful breakfast of leftovers, lovingly prepared by our dear friend Lois. Everything was delicious, she even refilled my coffee cup! Bless her heart, I hope we can all travel together, so I get a chance to refill her cup.

As a young mother Sharon brought son Josh camping and hiking, and she wanted to relive the good old days. We stopped at Providence Canyon SP for a hike, though we skipped the long rim trail. The 5 canyons we're enough fun.

Providence Canyon was inadvertently created by farmers in 1830s planting down hills rather than across, and rain and erosion removed the tillable soil and left the underlying rock. Impressive, all in all, though I was happy only walking 2 miles and not 9. Some pictures are forthcoming, THEY ARE HERE. Blogger is acting buggy about pictures, perhaps it will behave when we have a better cell signal

The state park is on the border with Alabama and the Central Time Zone. Sharon says we're going to Oak Mtn SP tomorrow, because somebody was there 10 years ago and it was great. Coldwater is too new to compete with that, so it's off the schedule.
