Alum Creek at one time was a nice, away from things park.  Now, encroachment by the overflow from Columbus has changed its character.  Not only is it no longer "away from things", but it has become home to yuppie boaters.  It isn't unusual to arrive to a bustling, nearly full campground only to wake up the next morning to a ghost town as everyone has left for the lake.

We had a beautiful weekend.  We got down here late on Friday.  On Saturday we got Meggie a parking pass (in the football game traffic).  On Sunday we got her moved in to her dorm.
