Ozark & Fort Rucker Alabama

March 14, 2009

We gained an hour as we passed into central time and are staying in Ozark, Alabama.  I went to flight school at Fort Rucker 39 years ago and we lived in a trailer in Ozark.  We drove into town and then to Ft Rucker, Deju Vu !!  We visited our old trailer park which is now an empty 'orchard'.  It was tough finding the old backroads since they are all paved now and so built up.  We had to visit the aviation museum and toured it in 10 minutes since it was closing time.  We even gave 'Monk' a chance to fly.  Notice who is in the left seat.  We then drove back through Enterprise and the Boll Weevil monument and then through back roads by the Ft Rucker weapons ranges.   We fell asleep to the sound of the night firing on the ranges.  Not to mention the barking dog.
