Southern Culture & Trails
Celebrating the uniqueness of Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky as we cross them and stop to explore
On our road trip to Michigan, we lingered in the South on the way up and again on the way back to visit with family and friends and to explore some of the region's unique and unusual destinations.
Taking advantage of having our bikes with us, we also sought out paved bike trails to explore. These are our adventures in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky during August and September, 2018.
