October 9-10, 2015 - Raccoon Creek, Clear Creek


We left Guntersville around 7:40 heading to Chattanooga.  We traveled just a few hours and anchored in Raccoon Creek around 11:40.  We had our lunch on the back deck with a great view, took a dinghy ride, and spent the rest of the afternoon with our feet propped up reading and enjoying the scenery. We had a nice rain most of the night and into the morning, so we waited until about 8:30 to leave our anchorage Sunday.  It was cloudy most of our trip.  We had one lock with just a little wait time while a tug got his barges all together.  We anchored at Cedar Creek around 12:30.  Just as we dropped the anchor, the sun came out (but didn’t last too long).  We spent the afternoon cleaning up the millions of mosquitos we had killed the night before.  Mosquitos and spiders are in great abundance around here.  I have also seen a few roaches lately.  We are well stocked with various kinds of bug spray.
A little cloudy to start our day
