Often during our travels we enjoy venturing off of the highways to see what we might find among the towns along the way. Leaving Wetumpka Alabama, travelling up highway 65 toward Nashville we found Peach Park in Clanton Alabama.

The famed Black and White is a shortbread cookie heavily iced with dark chocolate on half... Continue Reading →
It was like spotting Santa Clause or Big Foot or catching a jackalope. You hear all the stories, you see the evidence they have been here, but you never seem to have your camera out to prove they exist.
