Service Park COE – Coffeeville, AL

July 9 - 11

This park was a very pretty park but once again it is not used except for weekends.  We were one of 4 campers the first night and the second there was only one other one. 

We thought we could use some quiet time but didn’t expect this.  We had No cell, phone or over the air tv.  We enjoyed the serenity and the beauty around us, but there was nothing to do.  The nearest little town was really little

The excitement of the day was watching the tug boats

pushing large barges down the river.

 The host that checked us in told us if we liked Catfish we should go to Bobby’s Fish Camp.  The were raging about it and we love catfish.

So we decided to give it a try.

Little did we know this was the road

 Wow, we traveled down this dirt road to get there. 

 It was definitely a fish camp 

 4 other adults came in all dressed up to eat.  They said they come from 30 miles away to  eat there because it’s that good.

Notice the 137 pound Alliigator Gar below.

 

Don't bother to call 911 or anything like that

The signs let you know they can handle it.

 It was not a disappointment.  The fish reminded me of the catfish places my parents took us to when I was little.  They would drive to Colfax, Indiana and wait in a super long line to get the catfish there.

No line here, but still good food. 

Took the bike down here to get an internet connections

as we had to check up on our next site.

And to end the evening a large alligator swam by in our back yard view.  

On Friday afternoon, the locals started arriving at the campground with jet skiis, boats and large groups of friends.  Everyone had toys and the silence was broken.

It reminded me of when Jeff & Tracy get together with their buddies on the weekend.  Fun for them, but too hectic for me.  J J  lol

We leave in the morning
