Kim and I walked almost 4 miles this
morning then went to a Florence visitor center located near the
marina where Kim found an item of interest. We borrowed the marina
car, loaded Wally and Darcy Campbell in the back and headed for The Great Wall of Alabama. With the help of the young lady in our GPS
app we found the great wall in the Alabama country side. We parked on
a dirt road and as we walked up the driveway we saw several people
sitting in a semi-circle, we were invited to join them. Tom Hendrix
told the story of his g-g-grandmother walking back to this area from
Oklahoma when she was 17 years old in the year 1844 or 45. She had
been forced from the area along with all the other Indians in
President Jackson's Indian Removal Act better known as the Trail of
Tears.
Later in the evening we celebrated
Darcy's birthday with champagne and homemade apple pie.
