GL: Mile 216 Demopolis to Mile 270 Sumter Recreation Area

[Glenn Dean]

 Ahh !
 The white cliffs at Epes was one of the most breathtaking scenes on the
Tenn-Tom.
They are worth the trip, just to see them.

7 Oct
Never saw the first barge or pleasure vessel larger than a bass boat the
entire day.  Where is everybody?  Did we pick the perfect week to be headed
north?  Guess we'll have lots of company headed south with us next month.

Dredge "Kelly L" was working the Epes area just north of the bridge, and we
had only 2 feet under us for a short distance where he allowed us to get by.

Saw more nasty looking deadheads this section than any other day - maybe 7
or 8 boat-killers.

Sumter Rec Area is a jewel of an anchorage, but only about 5 feet deep at
entry - we may have a muddy keel.  Beautiful Saturday (Columbus day weekend)
weather today and not a soul in the camping and picnic area.
