Roxy Theatre, Russellville, AL

Gerry checked the mass schedule for the nearest Catholic church in Russellville (28 miles away) and decided we should make it today for the service.  They had an English mass at 11am and a Spanish mass at 2pm, we left early for the English mass.  It was a nice and small church and was almost full by the time mass started.  

When we sat down, Gerry noticed Steve & Pat, a couple here in Red Bay for service.  We've talked to them before and we all went to the Coon Dog Cemetery and Rattlesnake Saloon Cave the other night.  After mass they joined us at a local Mexican restaurant called Pollo Lo Quillo for lunch.

The restaurant had a buffet and also order from the menu.  The three of them ordered from the menu and enjoyed their meals, while I had the buffet.  It was good, but not great.  The nice thing about the restaurant was that they also had a bakery connected to it.  We stopped and bought some great pasteries for dessert and also for breakfast in the morning.

We went geocaching and picked up two caches to add to our list.  These two took us to 1249 caches found and were neat caches.  One was very high on a metal pole and I really had to stretch to reach it.  This cache was next to the Roxy Theater.

The Roxy Theater was built in 1949 and has survived since then, but in different forms.  See below for it's story.




We picked up another cache and headed back to the motorhome to drop off the pasteries and complete a few tasks.  Then it was off to visit with Steve & Pat since they are heading for Chattanooga on Monday and then on to Nashville.  We had a nice visit and swapped some tall tales and then had to take a break for dinner.   I think we will see them somewhere else down the road.  Hope so.

Another blogger that I
 follow, Randy & Pam Warner are in the park and we hope to meet up with them before we leave.  In addition, Sharon & Don are still here and hopefully we can join them for dinner.  Every time we have gone by their MH, they have been gone.  

By the time most of you read this, it will be Memorial Day and we'd like to thank all those who served the country and honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect and serve our country.  We thank you all.


Good night all.

  1. I told Warners they needed to track you guys down. I know you've been stuck there a long time but you've been meeting some neat people.
