Day 37 - October 20, 2012: Visit to Rogersville, AL

Rogersville is about 5 miles east of the Joe Wheeler State Park and Marina, and the city set up a bus service for loopers to be able to come in and visit. We went in this morning and discovered lots to do and see. There was a chili cook off in the park, along with blue grass and country singers, a car show on the nearby streets, and some nice arts and crafts shops.

In the car show I discovered a restored 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 door coup in fire engine red. This was exactly the car I was lucky enough to have when I was in college. Well, not exactly the car, as mine was a bit tired, had some rust, needed new shock absorbers, and ran somewhat uneasily on retreaded tires. Still, it was emotional to see it and remember some great memories of my college experience.

Lunch was a chili tasting in the park, and then we voted for the best one. To be honest, I prefer wine tasting, but it was really good.

Later we listened to the University of Michigan come from behind to defeat that other Michigan school 12 to 10.     Go Blue!
