We meet the nicest strangers, mostly

And then again some of them are just, well, a little strange. The most recent case in point was just yesterday at Joe Wheeler State Park in Rogersville, AL. In Alabama (as well as Tennessee & Kentucky) many State Parks have lodges and marinas as well as the usual camping & hiking. Our boat is docked near the lodge where guests with rooms on the water side can sit on their balcony and look out over the marina.

The other day as Larry was walking up to dispose of our trash some guys sitting out on a balcony called to him and he waved in response. One of the fellows called to him and asked if he was on "one of them boats out there", of course that led to a conversation. The guy said he had heard that people could "take them boats from here all the way to up to Canada and then come back here from up in Lake Michigan, is that true". Upon being assured that indeed it was not only true but that Larry had done just that he responded with, .."well I still don't believe it".

So as I said at the outset we meet the nicest strangers, I mean have you ever had that kind of conversation in a hotel lobby?
