We're Alabamy bound.

Eighty nine miles today, all on highway 84 leaving Mississipi after about 10 miles and passing into our last but one State of the trip -Alabama. One immediate change was going from a dual carriageway (four lane blacktop as they say round here) to a single carriageway with no hard shoulder. This is unfortunate as the road is well use by large trucks, especially logging trucks from the Alabama timber belt. All but a couple move over to go passed but when there is one each way it gets a wee bit tight. No accidents though and no dog incidents so all is well with the world.
We pass through a place called Coffeeville at just about the right time for a big cup of coffee. Much better than yesterday!
After that it's rolling roads to Monroeville which is where we have a nice motel booked and which is the birth place of the authors Truman Kapote and Harper Lee of To Kill a Mockingbird fame. The town contains the setting of the town in tkamb and in particular the courthouse where the trial takes place. Luckily we are there in time to get inside and to be given a short tour of the old town by an enthusiastic volunteer guide.

Our home for a couple of days at least. 

Just in time for elevensies. Well OK tensies really. 

Atticus Farman presents the case for the defence in the County Courthouse of "To Kill a Mockingbird" fame. 

I hope he lands with as much precision as he parks!
