Cruisin' toward the Coast

We left this morning for Cruisin' the Coast on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  While this isn't our typical British car event, it should be a great event for any petrol-head.  It's an annual event for classic American cars, muscle cars. but most of the cars are a variety of custom street rods.  Hopefully, the weatherman will cooperate and it will be a great time on the Mississippi coast.  After leaving the house, the first stop was at our QuikTrip for a start-of-the-trip cappuccino and made our way through Conyers, McDonough, Griffin, Zebulon, our bathroom and antique stop at the High Cotton Antique Mall in Woodbury, Warm Springs, Waverly Hall, Columbus, then into Phenix City, Alabama and on to our lunch stop at Inell's Country Cooking in Ladonia, AL.  Lunch was a three vegetable plate washed down with some sweet iced tea.  Meat was forsaken in anticipation of the local fried chicken tonight in Troy, AL.  From Inell's we continued along the Alabama back roads through Hurtsboro and Union Springs - the bird dog field trial capital of the world, with a statue in the middle of main street to prove it - before arriving in Troy where we'll spend the night.  There is not much in Troy except for the university, but we were told that we should try Crow's Chicken, a long time, local chicken establishment and it happens to be within walking distance of the hotel.  We'll provide an objective report after dinner!
