Burntside Adventures: Wheeler Lake

We are slowly working our way up the river. Currently at Wheeler Lake and will head to Ditto Landing marina for a couple of days with plans to get a rental car and drive the 10 miles into Huntsville to tour the space museum tomorrow. I have always wanted to do that. Had an interesting morning yesterday pulling up the anchor. We were in a creek inlet, about a half mile up it, with some scattered homes on the shore. It was 15 feet deep and the anchor had set well the night before, but when retrieving the anchor there was a 16 inch concrete block impaled on the point. What are the chances? Anyway, I took the boat hook and lifted the back of the anchor up and it plopped into the river. Last night had a great private spot in bay off the river and will leave this morning as soon as the fog lifts a bit. The fog doesn't bother me at all but the bass boats are out and they go at high speeds. I can see them on radar but they can't see me and this boat isn't fast enough to get out of the way.
