October 30 - Silas AL to Anchorage (Mile 52.8)

After a peacefull night at Bobby's Fish Camp, we continued our cruise on the Tenn-Tom. Since the "Dolly Parton" bridge at Mile 22 was to be replaced, river traffic was to be stopped for three days. Many tows were trying to beat this evening's deadline. Within a few miles, we must have passed three southbound and two northbound tows.  We were not in a hurry since there was an alternate route pleasure craft could follow. Today we passed a massive building project with a very large dock and cranes. Not again wanting to travel at night, we dropped our anchor at the Alabama River Cut-Off at Mileage 52.8. Today we covered 66 miles.
