What does it say that the best part of the day was stopping at Mi Pueblo grocery store as we drove through Pelham? The store caters to the Mexican community, no one appeared to speak English, but they were smiling and very helpful. He produce section was large and we'll stocked with a much more interesting swath of vegetables and fruit than any Publix. The selection of sauces and salsas was immense. I learned that pork rind is available by the yard, and there are a lot more chicken parts than I knew. Alas, we were there too early to enjoy their food court, I was hoping for a breakfast burrito or two.
The drive was uneventful, all back roads wending their way across Alabama and into Mississippi. Tell Google Maps to Avoid Highways, and it will do its best to keep you off interstates. What you sometimes get, though, ate random back roads connecting County and State and US highways. Great fun, but we did get a momentary scare about a bridge (plenty of room!).
John W. Kyle is a campground set at the base of the dam that created Sardis Lake. It has the lower lake on the other side. Camping is first come and cheap ($9).
Pictures are finally here.
