... br><br>The venue itself was pretty nice, and we had a really fun crew. They were so efficient and good that we had our fastest load out to date. <br><br>Decatur, AL claims to be a "Grand City on a Charming Scale"... now, I don't really buy that, but I will say, I found it's alternative title "Home of Meow Mix" to be the most exciting aspect of the city. We passed the giant Meow Mix factory on the way out of town. Sadly, it left it's jingle of singing cats in my head for about 5 min.<br>

Day Tripping!!! Took off from Chattanooga for the day and headed to Scottsboro, Alabama, state #25. We drove an hour to a shop called Unclaimed Baggage. This place is where all the unclaimed baggage in the united states goes. They have brand new Coach and Gucci bags, skis, snow boards, cameras, CD's, books and clothes, clothes, clothes! They all sell for reasonable prices. Brand new items ...

... like someone is killing a family of 4 to take their bodies and dump them in the backwoods of Alabama. It could of also looked like the stalkarazzi was loose in Huntsville. Which one sounds more believable? Now we are settled into our hotel room.. The guys are at the bar resting their brains and every single girl is in one room playing guitar hero..LOL.. I feel sorry for the people below us. They also ...

I am extremely tired right now from riding in the rain all day for 58 miles. there are starting to be some difficult hills on the route to test all of us. we have Wednesday off from riding, so I am very happy about not riding tomorrow- I am SORE!

(47)APRIL 17, 2009 <br>WE TOOK A SHORT TRIP TO HUNTSVILLE. WE WANTED TO TAKE OUR SWEET LITTLE <br>GRAND-DAUGHTER FOR AN OUTING. SO WE WENT TO THE HUNTSVILLE BOTANICAL <br>GARDENS.

ALL SEEMED TO ...

THEY WERE EVERYWHERE. <br>I WAS SURPRISED AT THE DIFFERENT AGE <br>GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE ...

It was pretty cool except I didn´t want to break my fourth pair of flip-flops, so I had to climb barefoot up the steep, sharp rocks to get back to the top of the cliff.
