Foscue Creek Park, Demopolis AL, December 15, 2007

7:30 am: Good morning from site 42 at Foscue Creek Park.

Since there was nobody camping at any of the sites right on the river I walked out and sat on the bank of the river. And to my good fortune a barge soon appeared 'round the bend up near Demopolis, headed downstream with a load of coal. I'll post a picture soon.
