Sweet Home Alabama II

This morning we're back in Florence AL after a 400 mile round trip to Chattanooga TN.  Tomorrow we'll officially be heading south again and will be about 450 miles from Mobile AL and the Gulf of Mexico.  We enjoyed meeting and re-meeting other "Loopers" at the rendezvous, and Chattanooga is such a lovely place we hope to return one day.  Fortunately, unlike so many others, we were spared from Hurricane Sandy, experiencing only some brisk winds while in Chattanooga.
