After two days of waiting for severe weather to pass, we actually departed at 3:30 this afternoon (Saturday).

We headed up US 331 and crossed into Alabama at Florala. We continued up 331 through Opp, Brantley, and stopped at Luverne for a few supplies at the Piggly Wiggly. We continued to Rutledge where we had a nice supper at Hook's Bar-B-que. Today is our wedding anniversary, and we thought that we should celebrate at the finest restaurant available. In Rutledge, Alabama, that would be Hook's. Actually, I wanted to go on to Montgomery, but SuEllyn preferred the BBQ place. It was very good, by the way. Their french fries were some of the best I've ever had.

We continued on US 331 to Montgomery, arriving there right at dusk. We picked up I-65 North. We went as far as Birmingham, where we are spending the night in the Flying J parking lot. We're trying out one of our Honda 2000's for the first time. It's cool enough tonight not to need A/C, so we're using just one.

Here's a few pics from today.
