Blowing by Buckhead

Day 1
749 Miles
Oxford Alabama

Rolled out of Avon on a cloudy day and hit rain before we hit the fall line. Decided to modify the course and head south down the big 95 to South of The Border (hey Pedro!). From there we took 20 through the pines and sand to Atlanta.

Outside Atlanta we stopped near the end of the day for a little hike at the Davidson Arabia Park. Formerly a granit quarry where lots of “tidal grey” curbstone,  the Brooklyn Bridge, West Point,  The Naval Academy, the Rayburn Office building in DC , and lots of other stuff comes from.

We hiked around a little bit, found a pond with some peepers in in and then found some ribs at D’s near the stadium.  The food was good, the sides were yummy and the service was great . They  may be advertised the best ribs in Atlanta but I still prefer Joes in KC

After dinner we hit the road and rolled on to a rest stop on 20 somewhere outside of Oxford Alabama



The Gunship.... packed and primed
