Sounds like you had great time, but you are so lucky none of the local good old boys did not pull you over for speeding, especially with out of state tags. They have special way of making visitors stay pleasant as long as you can either post bond or see the local judge and pay your ticket. Just slightly west of state route 43 is highway 17 through Butler, AL to hook up with state route 45 and then into Mobile. I personally have not had the pleasure of making that particular stay in Alabama, but I know a few friends who did in the late 1960's, things were very pleasant as long as you could pay your fines.
