It Was A Challenge...

Boy, we’ve really been in a band of heavy weather the last few days.  Those a little north of us have had it rough with heavy rain, hail as large as 2”, and they think 2 tornados…not good at all.  Now we hear that we might be getting some of the same by 3 to 4am in the morning.  It is a possibility, but an educated possibility and we’re hoping for the best.   Anyway, we left Wal-Mart this morning and headed to our new campground location here at Mountain Lakes Resort in Langston, Alabama.  We’re parked on the shores of Guntersville Lake and about 20+ miles from the closest town.  Let’s just hope that this storm dissipates before it reaches this remote area.  Our drive here was not one that I recommend for those that might follow with a motor home.  We plugged in the address information into our GPS as we left Gadsden this morning for our campground.  Every-once-in –awhile our GPS takes us on a route that is indescribable.  We found out that our route could have been much quicker and safer than the one that we followed, but not knowing for sure that our GPS was way off, we continued on.  We were on a route were the roads where so narrow that we had to straddle the center line and then as we were winding down a hill, we came across a sign telling us that we had 2 single lane bridges coming up.  These bridges also had weight limits on them that we exceeded.  Not being able to turn back, we made the tight turn for the bridge and continued across.  With the rain that we’ve been having, the water rushing under us was intimidating as hell.  After making it across the first bridge, we were immediately met with the second.  This one was even tougher to get onto.  This roadway wasn’t made for a vehicle of our size and the corner that we had to make to get onto the 2nd, was really tight.  I wasn’t too happy about the crossings but Louise was about ready to lose it as we approached the second.  Well with the narrow roads and the one-way bridges behind us all we have to look forward to now is this darn storm…
