During my nine years at Arrowhead the Coosa Valley Trout Unlimited folks have been among our most important supporters, so I was thrilled to be invited to join them for their meeting and BBQ today at a private Coosa River getaway. I had never been there before, and since it is privately owned, I will not give specific info on the location, but what a beautiful -- and historic-- spot.

| The expansive back porch that wraps around two sides of the 150 year-old house is in sight of the river. |
 |
| And, according to my hosts, right there next to the porch is the even older one-room original Floyd County Post Office. At one time this little office was on the regular U.S. Mail route via boats on the Coosa River. |

| The interior of the old post office. If you look closely at plate that the roof beams rest on you can see the peg construction. |
 |
| Charlie Gilbreath, an old firend and fellow teacher, has been an active part of Trout Unlimited for many years. It was great to get to visit with Charlie again. |
Thanks TU for all your support and for the chance to visit with you folks today!
