We left Joe Wheeler State Park in the early morning fog after a brief stint of two nights. The picture that is now on our front page is courtesy of Salty Paws and shows the fog just rising around us as we depart. We didn't have far to go today but there is always the case of Murphy's Law when it comes to locks. He reared his ugly head and we and about 5 other boats were held up a total of about 4 hours. This worked out for us in the end as we were only going back to Florence but others had planned to go further and this would certainly effect their plans.
We stayed here one night and as we had seen all the local sights before we didn't need to do any sight seeing. So we just borrowed the courtesy van and went for groceries.
