? about traffic on I65 south of Bham...

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

I haven't traveled on 65 south of Bham to Greenville in years. Literally. I know when there is a wreck it becomes a parking lot... But I've heard that lately, even on weekends in the summer, it's at a crawl because of heavy traffic. Is this true? I was thinking about going that way tomorrow and I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons. Other option is Hwy 82 to Prattville, but I hate that road too other than Jim's BBQ which will be closed and I've heard it has a bunch of construction on it right now also.

I haven't heard anything about it that. You going all the way down to see your folks/in-laws? Or are you just going to Greenville? If so stop by Priesters and eat some pecans for me......oh and get off at exit 96 and pick up some Conecuh Sausage.

Destin. I was hoping you'd see this thread.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

And yes, I plan on hitting Priesters pretty hard. Bates too if they're open.

Will you bring me the wrapper from your turkey sandwich back so I can sniff it and lick the crumbs off? And on your way back from Priesters, leave the sugar coating dust on your finger tips so I can lick that off. :icon_eek:

Braondon, where are you planning on picking up I-65?Traffic thins out pretty quickly once you get south of Calera.

I took 65 about a couple of weeks ago all the way down and didnt run into anything that was too bad. Worked fine. Some traffic about 30 or so miles past Clanton but seemed normal to me.

Went from Tuscaloosa, through Hoovah. It wasn't bad. Traffic was moderate, but not like what I expected. Never slowed down or anything... so all was good.

Folks that don't know you aren't going to realize that you're being serious...

As for Priesters, we did stop, but folks were going after the free sample like rice in Somalia, so I just aborted that mission. I'm surprised they don't have to have a security guard stationed there.

You ain't missing much. Destin is the suck for the most part. More overrated than Mississippi State.

Lance acts like he doesn't have any money and lemedy million days of vacation time.

As much as he likes to take pictures, I think if we keep working on him, we can get him to buy a condo on the beach. He needs one of those 2 BR 2 BA jobs at the Phoenix in Gulf Shores.

I-65, North or South, is becoming the training ground for emergency services and for all other people to learn patience. At least once a day, there is :chat_swear:snafu that turns it into a parking lot. :c004:
