Hear, hear!  That's the spirit of this site.
Thanks for sharing the adventure.

Day 4 - Monday - Heading Home

Woke up to a very dense fog. I hung out drinking coffee till it seemed like I had a 10th to a quarter mile viability. Dried the seat and windshield and headed south on AL-17 towards Butler in Choctaw County. By the time I got there it was clear sunshine. When I stopped to take a pic of the welcome sign I was swarmed with mosquitoes so I didn't stay long.



While riding through town i seen this water tower. Until last week there was one just like it in Malbis.  They had to remove the old landmark due to safety issues.  I had to stop and get a pic of this one.




Then I continued on south to Washington County. I stopped again for the welcome sign in Millry. And again got attacked by mosquitoes. Who knew taking pictures was so dangerous. And again I didn't stay long.



In town I spotted this awesome memorial and had to stop to get a good look.

I'd also would like to say THANK YOU to all that has served this country and their family that has also sacrificed as they served.






Then I looked south again on AL-17 to US-45 south to Mobile County. As soon as you cross the county line your in Citronelle and another pic. Least this welcome sign didn't have attack mosquitoes guarding it.




After crossing the Cochrane - Africa town bridge I made a stop for a pic of the Bankhead Tunnel. I  remember paying a quarter toll each way.. It has a 12 foot  height limit and gets challenged weekly and sometimes daily.  Opened in 1941 it has never lost a battle with trucks or RVs. It has its own cute Facebook page. Check it out.


 

As many times I have rode my motorcycle in Mobile County I personally have never cared for it. So I purposely saved Mobile County to be the last on my list. In fact the very best view I have ever seen of Mobile is the one in my rear view mirror as I get back into Baldwin County.




Next stop was home after a short day ride of 185.6 miles for the day. And 899.1 miles for the 4 day adventure.





With that, I believe, finishes the list of 67 Alabama Countys. I would like to thank Guidedog for starting this challenge. I have really enjoyed the leisure ride around the state and seeing things and areas I didn't know existed. I strongly encourage others to do the same, no matter if it takes years. Just get out and go enjoy the ride. And ride safe!!

Although I lived 20 miles away, I attended high school in Citronelle.
