Stopped for lunch in the small town of Toxey. The J and K Ribs place came highly recommended by nearly everyone we spoke with! ...we were not disappointed, the food was AWESOME, no doubt made all the more delicious by the effort of simply getting there for us. Got directions and road information from an Alabama Gas company driver named Bo. You just can't beat the local input...with one exception, NO ONE ever gives you the right distance to anything! So, I've just quit asking and instead focus on road conditions and the number of big hills we'll likely encounter.
One of the big highlights of the day occured in the small town of Silas, where we stopped at the combination fabric store, flower shop, and general store run by Ms. Christine Taylor and had a home-made snow cone. They were nothing short of amazing and really helped revive us from the heat!
We spent last night camped behind the library in Chatom, and we were seranaded by an amorous bull until the wee hours of the morning. Needless to say the quanity/quality of sleep was a bit lacking...
We're going to hang out in the J & K back room until around 5pm, and then finish the push to Butler and a day off!
