Well, I'm finally out of Florida and now I know what Alabama is like - HILLY! Instead of going all the way to Mobile, AL and starting my way north I decided to hook into the Underground Railroad biking route taking northwest roads through southern Alabama. I'm on US84 heading northwest toward the Alabama/Mississippi border. Tonight I'm staying in a small town called Evergreen, AL (I still don't have my camping site selected but I've talked to the local police and they said if I have to I can camp at their airport.)
When I was eating my lunch in an Andelusa, AL truck stop I asked a guy they call Bubba (later found out he was an off duty trooper) how to get to US84. He told me to turn left at the light and "pedal like hell." He was right. Man, am I going to sleep good tonight!

Hi son,

Wow I am totally inspired - I wonder if there is something comparable that your older sis with little physical ambition could do? LOL I'm livin' through you brother - so keep the pace and keep safe! I'll be singing Sweet Home Alabama tonight with a glass of wine in your honor!
Hey Chaz, looks like you are making great progress. Sheryl and I are checking up on you daily and I have been circulating your blog at work so hopefully it will raise more $$ for the cause.
Travel safe and keep on peddlin'! You be the man Charlie...

I keep reminding myself that you did want to do this.Kyle's cousin in Cass City had someone talk to her about your trip not knowing she was a relative.Your becoming famous but to all us you have always been special.You keep me smiling as I read your blog.Thank goodness for computers.Lance is now home from Iraq so Kyle is with you(wonder why the hills have shown up?)Keep thinking it could be Alaska.
