Spring Training 2019 - Day 65

We left Stone Mountain about 10:00 am.  We ended up going on the northern loop around Atlanta instead of through town on I-20.  The distance around the loop was a little longer but the GPS said it was the fastest.  So, we were expecting moving traffic as rush hour was over - however, that was not the case. Traffic was very heavy, lots of trucks, slowdowns, 3 separate accidents, construction and the usual number of weavers and speeders.  And, we had a few rain showers to add to the Atlanta traffic excitement.

We made it through it all, joined I-20 on the west side of town and headed towards Alabama.  Along the way there was more showers, sometime heavy, and the inevitable road construction.  At least they are upgrading the interstate infrastructure in the area.

We arrived in Anniston, AL about 1:00 pm. It was a long 120 mile drive.  We needed to do laundry so that was the afternoon activity.  That took us into the early evening.  We are meeting our friends Paula and Dallas tomorrow and we need to have some minor maintenance  (front wheel alignment) done on the RV.

We always eat out on laundry day so that is plan for this evening.

 We did eat out.  We went to a BBQ place down the road from the RV park.  When we went inside we remembered we had eaten there several years ago and had forgotten we had done so. The BBQ was good.  It is a no frills place, but worth a return visit.

Alabama  is an "open carry/concealed carry" state with certain restrictions including permission from private property owners.  We have seen several signs like this prohibiting firearms in restaurants, stores, etc.

  The forecast is for clearing skies and 84 degrees tomorrow.
