Quick post to let everyone know that Dixie has posted the edits from his portion of the trip. I’m trying to recall most of the stops we made but I’m sure we will make better notes on our next trip.
This portion for me was from Atlanta to Oklahoma City with main stops listed here:
Spectre – fictitious town from the film “Big Fish” near Montgomery, AL
Prattville, AL – home of the Pratt Cotton Gin
Old Cahawba Archaeological Park – near Orrville, AL and abandoned first permanent state capitol of Alabama from 1820 to 1825. Also called Cahaba.
Meridian, Mississippi – Abandoned amusement park “Royal Land”
Shreveport, Lousianna – best city Welcome Center that impressed Peep.
Paris, Texas – Stopped to see the little “Eiffel Tower”, Texas styled with cowboy hat on top.
Most of the travel was along state highways off the interstate system, but we opted for main towns for better hotels to get our points. We love adventure but still love to be rewarded also.
You can check out all the images from the trip on the Flickr group for Forgotten Main Street. That group is also a great place to comment and start discussions for future destinations or to share your favorite places.
Here are a few preview images from our first trip.
