Day 2/3 of the Eastern adventure April 4/5

We made it to Demopolis, Al today. As this is day 2 of being on the road we are taking a day off. That has been something we have tried to stick to. Two days of driving, followed by a full day of rest. It's worked out pretty well thus far.

We are in the Fescue Corps of Engineers campground just outside of Demopolis. These corps campgrounds have got to  be the best kept secret as far as campgrounds go. They are operated by the Corps of  Engineers, thus are usually located near a water project. You see these alot in the south. They generally run the the mid to upper $20 range per night, but if you have a national park pass you can stay for 1/2 price. Here $24 for two nights, such a deal. We have stayed at two and drove through couple others. We have yet to see one or read a review of one that folks consider sub par. They are top notch, large sites, near or on the water. They would easily be double the base price if they were privately owned, much less taking into account the 1/2 off. We can highly recommend  a COE campground if one is on your route or near you.
