I needed to get away from the chaos of home (oldest daughter, her boyfriend/fiancée, an adopted son, youngest daughter, and wife
all in the same small house) and find a quiet place to work for a few days. So I headed down to Desoto State Park and the Little River Canyon Just outside of Fort Payne Alabama. Thought Id post a few pics while Im waiting on the brightest part of the day to pass.
I stopped at Desoto Falls but it was early and the light was from the east so not many pics, I had meant to stop by this afternoon on my way out and get better pics but I left early this morning.
A few pics shot from the rim of the Little River Canyon
Some fungi I spotted while gathering some fire wood.
My accommodations while I was there.
A crow checking out my camp when I went for a walk.
The deck at the Desoto lodge, and the view from it, this was my office for the afternoon after the Sunday lunch buffet, which by the way was awesome. The fried chicken was great and the peach cobbler dessert was fantastic!
The gear I took since I was traveling light, not exactly a spring chicken ya know. My thinking on the knife choices was firstly I light and tough, then I was thinking since this was Jeffs neck of the woods that any officers and rangers I encountered would probably know him and it might be a good conversation piece. As for the Mick Spain knife its new to this country and I thought since I was going to Alabama Id take it and show it what it was like to reeeeeeaally be in a foreign country
So, it rode along in my shoulder bag.
Some random shots from a walk along a trail that winds beside the little river.
