Made it to Troy, Alabama

Had a great drive today, weather was beautiful, not too cool and not too hot.  No problems with the car as we cruised the scenic byways of Georgia and Alabama, passing through towns like Zebulon, Concord (home of the Concord Country Jubilee), Molena, Woodbury (not much here but antique stores), Warm Springs, the interestingly named Waverly Hall, Ellerslie (blink and you miss it) and Columbus.  Crossing the Chattahoochee River, we entered Alabama, passing through Phenix City, Union Springs and on to Troy.

Woodbury is very small, but there were about 4 antique stores in the two blocks of town.  They looked nice so we stopped for a stretch and to look around.  The lady at the High Cotton Antique Mall had to come look at the car because she had an MGB when she got out of college.  Unfortunately, (or fortunately), we made no purchases as we didn't have room to pack anything!

We decided to eat lunch in Phenix City, AL and found Inell's Country Cooking, where you can have whatever you want, as long as it's a meat and 3!  Was very unpretentious, people were very nice, food very good and reasonably priced, too.  And, they loved having their picture taken!

The historic town of Union Springs, AL. is the Field Trial Capital of the World!  It's home of the national bird dog field trials and in the middle of the main street is a statue dedicated to the eleven Bullock County residents inducted into the field trials hall of fame.  A life size English Pointer stands atop the 8 foot granite pillar.

Tomorrow, we'll be on our way to New Orleans, via Mobile and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
