Eufaula, AL wildlife refuge to Bainbridge, GA : 9-24-12 to 9/28/12

Monday, 9/24/12

Down the twisty Chattahoochee

Going down in the Walter F George Lock -
its the big one....88 feet - going down is even faster than going up

Bird brains waiting at the overflow for a easy pickin meal

Heron waiting for a fish to float by- they can stand incredibility still for a long time

First anchorage on the Chattahoochee at mile 60

Continuing going down 25 feet at the George F Andrews Lock 

Birds walk the Lock gates looking for fish

Holy Symphony Batman!
The lower you went, the louder ALL the bollards squeaked!

Anchorage  at mile 31

Day of rest to watch the wildlife




9-28-12
Up the Flint River to Bainbridge, GA

The water has been low for so long that the stumps are beginning to grow

The Flint River is very soothing and peaceful

Just 2 years later, the stumps are becoming trees

There's Bainbridge Marina and the ramp where Lollygag was launched

At the fuel dock

Funny for us was that the friends we went to visit were gone to a wedding, so we only spent one night.....dang! I hate when that happens.
