Mammoth Meanders to Goose (Is)Land, Day 7

 Return day, Monday 12/5
 

Huntsville State Park was a lovely place, but we had to leave and go back to our home that is not our home. Don't get me wrong--we love 'em, but after seven years alone, we don't want to live with 'em.

 

We got on the road a little late but who cared? It was a three-hour-drive. Is that like the Three Hour Tour of Television legend...? which lasted some six or more seasons with endless re-runs?

Yep. We ran into a bad wreck at about halfway, around Richland-Chambers Reservoir, and the backup lasted forty minutes or more.  It was a horrid drive. We ended up getting in at about 4:30--over five hours for a simple, three-hour trip.

Lessons Learned

1. I-45 is a good road, but like any Interstate Highway, it can sure stink.

2. The ocean is always a good idea, even when it's the bay.

3. Having full hookups is a great thing, but that's where all the other yay-hoos converge.
