FALL IN THE USA
Winnipeg to Alabama


Fred Harrington and Joyce Held, Mena, Arkansas

A few years ago we were parked in our
camper in a park in Uruapan, Mexico under a nice shady tree. Being
sound asleep we were awoken by hearing bangs like from baseballs
hitting on our roof. It turned out it was green avocados. We did
not realize it was an avocado tree

This week we are in Alabama at the
Pecan Point Park a few miles north of the Gulf of Mexico at Dothan,
Alabama. Hurricane Ida is on a direct approach and surprise we are
parked under a pecan nut tree. Machine gun like bullets were hitting
our roof. We did not take long to move to a safer location in the
park. Almost forgot to lift our jacks!

What can I say - if it is not avocados
it is pecans. Both delicious.

It is a good thing that you cannot park
under a pumpkin patch.
