Day 67
Miles Traveled: 0
Total Miles Traveled: 1531


  We took a mile hike along one of the trails at Joe Wheeler State Park.  Some trees are starting to show their fall colors, but most are still very green.  While hiking along the trail we saw a bit of wildlife - birds, squirrels, and one armadillo.  We did not know that armadillos lived in Alabama.  He did not seemed to be too disturbed that we were walking by. 
Armadillo - lost or at home?  



  Boats continued to arrive at Joe Wheeler State Park Marina in preparation for the upcoming AGLCA Fall Rendezvous.  Several came in the evening prior and several more arrived this morning and afternoon.  All are "Loopers".  We met over a dozen people just in one afternoon.  Lots of boat cards are being exchanged.  
"Looper boats" at Joe Wheeler - "Seahorse" is in the middle



  We attended our first official "dock tales".  "Dock tales" are gatherings of "Loopers" on the dock to socialize, eat, drink, and tell tales about the journey.  Sometimes you may know everyone there and other times you may be meeting new ones.  As many "Looper" veterans have said, a great part of this trip is the wonderful people you will meet along the way.  This evening we met quite a few and we are sure there will be more to come.
