Meeting Rickshaw for a meal tonight, really looking forward to it.. Alabama is stunning! 12 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post NEWKID 29,621 Posted Tuesday at 16:10 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted Tuesday at 16:10 (edited) We met with @Rickshaw swamilast night, once again thank you mate for your time and generosity. We had an amazing dinner, talked for hours, hunting and fishing dominating the talk, but history, music and family as well, I think we spent about 3 hours together and it flew by, my wife loved it as well. We're going to stay another night in Alabama, maybe more, this place has reduced our speed to get across the states, its slowed us down, which has been great. Waylon is a top man, a proper hunting and fishing man who lives, possibly, in the best place to pursue those things.. the invite is there for you to come to rhe UK anytime you want, not sure I'd leave Alabama though Edited Tuesday at 19:36 by NEWKID Spelling 10 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think I ever doubted it mate, I come from a part of the UK with very similar values and a slower type of life. But we have been blown away by how good the people have been to us, we have a very open door at our house, my mother was the same, when people come you offer food as a minimum.. this place is like that but x10... my wife has cried more here than anywhere we've ever been, from happiness... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ill keep chucking pictures up as we go, hopefully be of interest to most of you.. Heading to Tupelo, Mississipi today, birthplace of Elvis, undecided on whether to carry on down into Mississipi or head back into Alabama, as we have loved this state... We're booking places to kip day to day so it is completely on the hop, a bit of google maps to get a plan, checkout interesting routes et. Then head off...its served us well so far 4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the advice mate, we'll hopefully have enough time at the end of the trip to spend a bit of time there. Like i say, Alabama has slowed our progress, in a good way 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
