    Not much for truck parking. Other than that it's no big deal.

    No not really. Which way are you coming in? There are a few small places about an hour north on 65 and a few about the same on 85. The T/A stays full even in the middle of the day. Don't know why, it's an old dump.

    Never mind. Thought you were referring to on ramps.

    I don't see a lot of ramp parking in Alabama. They may be like Tennessee and Kentucky. I personally don't park on them so I can't say.

    They do things somewhat slower in Alabama. You will probably slow down yourself by the time you get down that far from the NE. Think of it as a vacation. De stress a bit.

    A point about 65 at night, watch for deer. Also you might be or not be familiar with storms in the south, if you hear a single note scream of a siren that is tornado warning for your area. We are also going into hurricane season in a couple of days time. Nothing active right now so all is well.

    Enjoy!
