Burchfield Branch Park on Holt Lake near Adger, Alabama

After a fishing trip to Port St Joe and a stopover in Wewahitchka, we headed across Sweet Home Alabama towards the Black Warrior River near Birmingham. We found our way down windy narrow roads to Lock Seventeen Road that led us to Burchfiled Branch Park on Holt Lake. A thunderstorm hit as we neared the park entrance and the rain let up enough to get us set up. We had a beautiful waterfront site near the boat ramp, swimming area, and fishing dock. We walked back up to the dam and lock although there was no public viewing area of the lock. The temperature dropped from 92 to 72 so we had a pleasant evening. We stir fried up Bob's home grown eggplant and banana peppers  with some local tomatoes and yellow squash we picked up at farmer's market in Brantley along with chorizo sausage and quinoa for a spicy one pot meal for dinner. Dessert was fresh peaches from the produce stand.
