My Travels With Charlie- Part 5

On Friday, July14th. Charlie and I are on our way to Limestone Co.-Athens, Alabama ( The Elk River-mud Bottom, Leggtown ...all the old familier places of Charlie's childhood days!)

On the way we saw this:

At the American Legion Hall in Decater, we stopped to pay homage to our flag!




...and This is the Tennessee River and bridge, just North of Decater.




We rode through the town of Athens and saw that a lot still remains of the old days... for instance...the store where the 'famous Schwinn bike' was bought is still in business!
I can close my eyes and imagine, those shiny, new bikes lined up on the sidewalk in front of that store, that captivited that young boy's heart!!

Later this evening, we would have the first gathering of the 'Kellum Klan, with home-made ice cream ' and lots of other goodies!
