It's been a good day so far! Doing my laundry at the Wishy Washy as the sun came up, fed my birds right on time and then had a long overdue shower.

Then I took off to Anderson, AL for lunch at the Fish Creel. Once I left Hwy 43 in Leoma onto Rabbit Trail Road, I was in virgin country for me. Daniel had mentioned the road was hilly, with a bunch of ups and downs. Way fun!

I saw a road closed sign and sure enough the whole thing was blocked off, probably construction. The detour took me off into some beautiful country with run down shacks and mutli-story mansions with huge manicured lawns. Southern Tennessee/Alabama is something!

I rolled into Anderson, AL at 1130 and landed at The Fish Creel.

I had the Stuffed Crab with slaw, hush puppies and mashed potatoes. My order took a bit longer than the folks around me, and I am assuming the crab was made up fresh. It sure tasted like it, definitely worth the drive!

I could only eat half and the to-go box is now siting in my fridge, ready for another round when I feel like it.

The service was terrific, sweet country girls that just emanated down home realness. Moving to the South has shown this West Coast boy a new way of living!
