The grand adventure has started!

After a week in Florida at Deb’s mom and dad’s we have arrived at our first Workamping job, Little River State Park in Alabama.  The address is Atmore, Alabama but it is actually closer to a little (tiny) town called Uriah (pronounced U-rye).  The park is approximately 60 miles north of Pensacola, Fl and 60 miles northeast of Mobile, Al.





It is beautiful here.  Our morning walks with Buddy have taken us through most of the developed part of the park.  Every time we start out I hear the Brooks and Dunn song Red Dirt Road playing in my head.  It is definitely red dirt!  I now understand my mom’s complaints when we were kids about “that old red clay mud”.  It is like a dye that hardly comes out of our clothes.  Dan already has a pair of jeans that have been designated “grass cutting days only”. 



 It has a 25 acre lake that we can see from the front steps of our trailer.  Dan takes Buddy on alligator hunts.  There are gators in the lake but Buddy is only allowed to get in the water that pools under the spillway – less chance of actually seeing one. 

It has been great so far.  When the park closes at seven we are often the only people in the park.  The other night we sat “on the porch” and watched the moon rise over the lake.  It was very quiet and relaxing.

My goal is to post something at least every other week on this blog.  I hope to take lots of pictures and keep everyone that is curious informed.  Until the next time…
