Doc's Country Store
Most Unusual Store
They Even Had A Redneck Bird Feeder
We are all set up at Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham, Alabama. We left Santa Rosa Beach around 10:30 and got here around 3:30. We did make a few stops along the way. One was a very unique country store called Doc's. It also had a fantastic museum called "Boothe Farms Family Museum". They had the old cabin with all the old furniture, quilts, sewing machines, tools etc. It was a cool place to visit. They sold cheese, butter and tons of food items from the Amish community. If you are ever in the area do not miss this one.
The pear trees are blooming all over and they are beautiful. I took a lot of pictures of the trees but will only post one now. We also passed a lot of cotton fields growing all over Alabama. Our campsite is fantastic; it's quite hilly almost like the Smoky Mountains. Our site has a huge vacant wooded area that is like a valley between us and the other campers. I have the bird feeders up and have already had a ton of visitors. This park has a lot of things to do. They have golf, horseback riding, a wildlife area, lots of lakes with boat rentals and much more. We have a lot of exploring to do.
