So, I finally got around to getting all the pics off our collective cameras and all in one place and uploaded online so that I can now link to them. Half of them are of food. That should say something about how we vacation. More on that later.
If you just want to see the pics, they're all

LOL! Yes! I think there's an old A&E special on the Sand Mountain snake handlers or something.
The reference to the KKK was when my brother was driving through there on his way to Atlanta with his girlfriend and there's this one four way stop where you'll often see churches or boy scout groups fundraising by selling donuts or something on a Saturday morning. This particular morning, it was the KKK fundraising. His very politically minded girlfriend wanted to roll down the window and talk to them and he yelled at her, "THEY WOULD NEVER FIND OUR BODIES!" There's an old, morbid joke about how the sheriff of Sand Mountain's main function is to look the other way. I have no idea how true it is, though. I've never stopped up there. For anything.

LOL! We were concerned about that, actually. What the legality of riding a bike while intoxicated might be. I have a feeling it happens a lot down there. All the taxis have bike racks. ;)
Ha! Never had the opportunity, really. Treadmills are definitely different. I'm not sure I like them.

I'm betting the cops kind of look the other way if you're not just outright being dangerous down there.
For sure! I was getting really sick of staring at my reflection and I only did 3 miles on it. I couldn't imagine training for a half marathon on one (and I know someone who did and got a seriously rude awakening when she ran the race on pavement). But yes, we just joined the YMCA last night because it's too damn hot to run and I'm not about to start going backwards on my weight loss now just because I refuse to exercise outside. I'm a pretty warm blooded person, but when it gets over 100 degrees... no thank you!

Thanks! I really think it was my unprepared butt more than the bike seat. ;)
