We left Dothan, AL, with a smile, probably because the peanuts were plentiful and well dressed!
And we left with full bellies after stuffing ourselves with a last minute seafood boil at The Juicy Crab!
But enough about Dothan!
We’re in site 88 at the Hoover Met Complex RV park in Hoover, Alabama, just a short distance south of Birmingham. It was an easy 200 mile trip with only a couple of traffic jams. US 231 went through Ozark and Troy before joining Interstate 65 south of Montgomery, AL. A little bit of a jog near Birmingham, and we’re home!
This sports complex is phenomenal. A baseball stadium seating over 10,000, walking tracks, soccer fields, waterparks, and more. The Finley Center is a 155,000 square foot event center that transforms into pickle ball courts, volleyball and basketball courts, and provides space for trade shows and community activities.
There is a food court, a climbing wall complex, and indoor and outdoor tennis courts. Five NCAA baseball fields with led lighting and scoreboards, four with artificial grass and one with real grass, five additional soccer, football, and lacrosse fields are available to reserve. And, of course, 170 full hookup rv sites for use by sports enthusiasts and us flybys. We’re here for a couple of days to get haircuts and do a few errands. In addition to groceries we managed to add in a trip to Riverchase Galleria Mall for a bit of air conditioned walking since the outdoor feel like temp has hovered in the low hundreds. There are several stores in the mall that we didn’t recognize, with merchandise unfamiliar to us West Coast drifters.
Oh, Rhett, Rhett, I fear I have lost Tara…..
