Oct 30, 2009 - Unclaimed Baggage Center

From Wills Creek RV Park, Fort Payne, in the NE corner of Alabama. For years I have been hearing about the Unclaimed Baggage Center, in Scottsboro, Alabama. It is a business that offers for sale stuff that has remained unclaimed from airlines, hotels, etc. I’ve often heard about it & now I can say that I have seen it. It is as much of a novelty as it is a source for bargains, though there are lots of good bargains to be had there.

Dec 10, 2007 - More adventures

December 5-6, on through Alabama to Nashville. We got up Wednesday morning, December 5, and discovered the plastic cover over the refrigerator vent was hanging by one corner.

Sep 27, 2005 - Goosepond Colony at Scottsboro, AL

On Sunday, Sept. 25 we pulled away from Tuscaloosa and headed north towards our destination of Refro Valley, KY. We had signed on to this Newmar Kountry Klub tour several months ago, knowing that the Razorbacks had an open date and then a "patsy" game in Little Rock the next week. So we figured we could miss one game for this two week adventure ending with a great bluegrass festival at Renfro Valley. Raymond and Glenda Arey traveled with us, choosing to "follow our white car" the whole way. Raymond has health problems, so we were happy to...
