Day 22 – Chattanooga, TN – Muscle Shoals, AL

So we started in TN, then drove through GA, then back into TN, experienced a time change back to the Central Time Zone from the Eastern Time Zone and finally entered AL!

State #17!
What!?! That’s it?!!
There you go, AL! Sweet Home Alabama, where the skies are so blue! State #18!
As we drove through Huntsville, AL, we came across these monsters at the US Space & Rocket Center! They’re huge!
Massive, we tell you!
Champy’s Famous Fried Chicken! Brews, Blues and Bird! E found this unbelievable place as a late lunch near Muscle Shoals! Note the very bottom sign on the left hand side of the picture!
Where’s the finance nerds at? Here is that part of the photo blown up! A little financial history! BankAmericard is the founding entity that became Visa! That is an old sign!
Do we call this potty humor? Outside Champy’s!
More outside views from Champy’s! There is a metal awning on the right side (an open air area under which we sat) and a tented area taking up part of the parking lot for Covid dining!
A bit of the inside decor! From the metal awning area where we sat!
E noticed these fellas as we walked back out to the car!
More views from under the metal awning! Hard to discern from the photo but there is a stage area behind the last table! It apparently gets wild and fills up early on nights with live music!
We ordered a plate of the delicious smoked hot wings (no photo, um, we ate it too quickly) and a 2 piece fried chicken with 2 sides! Again, the food was great! The beer was great! And the staff and service was beyond friendly!

In the epic song Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd, they write…”Now Muscle Shoals has the Swampers!” Yes, we’re in that Muscle Shoals! And in tomorrow’s post, we’ll explain all about it and quite a bit more! Stay tuned (get it!), it makes for a Keller story (not a typo)!

End of day odometer – 5,819 (180 miles driven)

Total miles driven on trip – 5,172 miles

    1. How’s that for using a pun to foreshadow a future post? Not as good as yours because it lacked a homonym (Keller/killer). My head is a little smoky this morning. OK, I will stop now.
