Days 103 & 104 – Little Cedar Cove to Goose Pond Marina - October 17-18, 2011

There was just a bit of fog when we got up this morning, but it burned off quite quickly and we were through the Nickajack Lock by 9:00am and headed down the river toward Goose Pond Marina.  We will be staying at Goose Pond for two days to take advantage of their laundry facilities and their courtesy car (so we can do some re-provisioning).  Having those two chores done will put us in great shape for the AGLCA Rendezvous which begins next week at Joe Wheeler State Park.

We were able to get the courtesy car on Tuesday evening and had “date night” at the movie theatre in Scottsboro, AL – you can’t beat movie popcorn and a chick flick (we’ll try to choose a more Fred friendly movie next time).
