Burmingham, Alabama

[Rick Haywood]

I am leaving the house Friday the 16th and riding to Birmingham Al. and staying overnight there. I will then p/u the wife and she and I will be riding back home leaving Saturday morning. Plan on a 2 day ride back. Was wondering if anyone knew anything about Highway 13 up through west central Ten. Looks like a nice ride.

Hey Rick,

I don't know the area but I want to wish you and Shirley a great ride!

Careful in Bham. I lived there my whole life before moving to Montgomery area 4 years ago.

They don't watch for motorcycles much. They are crazy drivers in Bham.

Steer clear of Malfunction Junction during rush hour.

Haven't traveled 13 south of Linden but everything north to Clarksville is good riding.

While your in Birmingham, take a side trip and check out the Guntersville Lodge. Let us know how it compares to Chestnut Mtn Resort.

GOOGLE THE STATE PARK, (BING) HAS A LINK OF PICTURES OF THE RESORT CAMPING & LOCATION SHOTS, this place got nailed two years ago by that tornado, they have cleaned the park up nicely since.

Guntersville State Park is very nice.

Several several years ago, a company I worked for helped install new water, sewer, and electrical hookups to (I believe) all the RV spots. Main thing was the sewer lines. Don't have to move the rig to dump the tanks now.

 

Great fishing too.

The girlfriend got hooked on fishing this past weekend at Lake Martin in Alabama so we are likely going to take several fishing trips with the RV next summer. Venture in tow, of course. Nothing beats riding the bike in the mountains.

Probably about 30 miles or so from me. I have to work Sunday night, so I could do lunch, but not supper.

[Rick Haywood]

We will be in the area on Saturday not Sunday:thumbsup2:
