Flat Stanley Visits Some North Alabama Countryside.

Dear Avah,
I was traveling around North Alabama with Adeline's Stanley and we had a very good time. But in order to cover more ground & visit more interesting places, we have gone different directions and I'd like to share the next part of my journey with you.

  
 
  


 
 While my twin brother Stanley enjoyed some exciting adventures with our friend Geni, I took a trip to see where Geni grew up. The view is very pretty. It is 7 miles from the town of New Hope, Alabama and the Paintrock River runs nearby. There is a shallow & wide portion of the river there that is known as "Buckford" because it's good spot for wildlife to cross over. As I'm sure you know, a Buck is a male deer & Ford is another word for walking across a river. The home where Geni grew up was nicknamed Buckford by Geni's father. 



 












I helped Geni's sister Teri collect some pine cones &
pine needles. 










Then she built a nice warm campfire out of the pine cones & needles, it was a chilly day. But made sure I stayed a nice safe difference away from the fire because my body is somewhat flammable. Have you ever been around a campfire?












 After we returned to Huntsville, we went shopping for a flat suitcase for me to take to..... Montana!I'm so excited about my next adventures!
Take care,
Stanley
