Scottsboro, Alabama

As many of you who follow this blog know, MK loves to find "interesting" things for us to see and do as we travel. We use the sites "RoadsideAmerica.com" and WLRA.com (Worlds Largest Roadside Attractions) and also look at Factorytoursusa.com. This place is one that she has wanted to visit for several years and we said, 'Sometime when we go down I -75 we have to take the time to go to:

Yep - this is where YOU can buy things that people have lost when their baggage goes unclaimed! Fascinating, Fun, Fabulous Deals. We spent several hours there - electronics, clothing, shoes - - - everything people take on holidays. Even saw a brand new, one piece motorcycle race suit (size: Small) !  Saw lots of size 16 basketball shoes (I think some team had to play barefoot - they were orange and white). MK's favorite Canon camera broke - the lens became skewed and doesn't work very well at all - we found a replacement there !  for about a third of what she paid for hers (plus this is newer with more megapixels and better zoom).  Plan a trip to Chattanooga and then take the drive to Scottsboro - it is worth the trip!

We belong to PASSPORT AMERICA - it is one of several 1/2 price camping clubs - the dues are close to $50 per year   BUT    IT    WORKS - - - on this trip south we have stayed at three of the participating parks   and we have saved $60 already  with at least one more to go. If you travel in a camping vehicle - you need to check this out. I will gladly explain more if you wish to write me.  BUT, also, if you decide it is for you, please put Mary down as a reference since we get a reward (we'll send you her club member # for you to add to your application). Here is an interesting CG we are staying at - the site available was 'at the top of the hill' - that is what the lady said on the phone.

and there we are - - - - waaaaaaaaay up on the left - - - what a view !!!

three campgrounds - the first was an older type with oak lined narrow roadways - the second was a very modern one with all of the amenities but certainly wasn't 'charming' - and the third is one of the strangest, built onto the hillside like this - has 50 amp electric, water, sewer and cable tv so it is good from that perspective + we are getting a nice breeze from the valley to our far side - tomorrow we "camp" in a "Friends Driveway Campground" for two nights and then we boogey on down - most likely spending one additional night on the road.  Look Out B Bay  here we come !!!!!
