I am all about some FREE fun in the summertime. We enjoy going to the Slab. The water is low so it is a nice place to walk through. Rocks sit high so you can lay out. It is not unusual to see rednecks cutting 360s in their big trucks, or seeing a four-wheeler stuck under the water. There are some real ‘characters’ who come out during the day at the slab. We had the pleasure of meeting a woman by the name of Donna. She shared her experiences of train-hopping all over the country. Although she was homeless then, she says that she had a lot of fun. Strangely, she had a broken foot and was shoeless walking up and down the rocks searching for anyone who would spare her a beer. I have to keep her in my prayers because she was going to find out the following day whether or not she had developed lung cancer.
I will return to the slab this summer as well. I will be sure to bring a lawn chair and a cooler to enjoy Alabama’s nature at its best!
