Sorry to disappoint! 😂😂😂 But yes, that was a beautiful greenway. And those Trial Gardens are also amazing! I wish that I could do something like that with my Ag kids!
OK, first of all, Roll Tide. 😆🏈... Yeah, that's an interesting trail. The part you did was more of a "nature trail"... where you stopped, if you had crossed the street, the trail picks back up and travels basically on a sidewalk along a city street before reaching Dudley Park where it turns into the Firefly Trail and goes over an old former railroad trestle (popularized on an R.E.M. album cover). Good trail(s)...but really needs better wayfinding signs and markers.
Yeah... I live in Alabama and grew up in a "Bear Bryant" household...I just don't follow football much anymore. Some of the fans (the hate-filled ones) ruined it for me. I was just at UGA to tour their College of Agriculture. A friend that my wife & I graduated high school with is a professor in that program and I am a high school Ag teacher, myself. Man...I wish that I had known that, I would've loved to have crossed that bridge! I may have to go back! We once carried a truckload of my students to track down and find the seventh bridge from the song "Seven Bridges Road." It was written about a road in Montgomery, AL. We found it, drove it, counted the bridges, and took a group selfie with the seventh bridge in the background. The songwriter, Steve Young, said that when he lived there in the late 60s, that you left the Montgomery City Limits, after you crossed that bridge. In all of these years, the City Limits has not changed, and is still in the same place.
@@mountainsnmoore256 Yeah, I grew up in Alabama but moved away in the early 80s, did not go to college there. But my entire family has been lifelong Crimson Tide fans. So whenever I ride a trail in an SEC city, I always wear Bama gear. Like last week I did the Neyland Greenway that passes right next to the Tennessee Volunteers' stadium. I was waiting at an intersection with an Alabama hoodie on...and a Tennessee guy rolled down his window and said, "The light never changes for Alabama fans!" I smiled and gave him a thumbs up. Gotta love the rivalry...
@@joyfultrails Friendly rivalries are great. Unfortunately, I had some in my community and beyond, that took things a bit too far and it slowly just began to ruin it for me. I absolutely love the game of football...played all the way through school, but due to a few fans' behavior, I probably haven't watched a game in 2-3 years. Sad, but true. BTW... I need to talk to you about something...look for a PM on IG in a bit.
