Due to fog, we were slightly delayed in our departure this morning. The nice thing was that once the fog burned off, it was beautiful and sunny – although a bit cool. Almost one third of today’s trip was through the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge. As a result there were no homes, cottages or industry, just nature at its finest. In sharp contrast, we also traveled past Decatur, AL where there is quite a bit of industry along the river. Once past Decatur and the TVA’s Browns Ferry nuclear power plant (which is just west of the city), the river becomes a bit more scenic and homes and cottages dot the shoreline.
