Bama. On 32 did you get through the East side? google earth makes it look possible but single track pavement past the power plant along the river.?

Bama, Speaking of roads over by the Little Switzerland loop we got into gravel, any chance it has since been paved?

197 south from 19E. it looks paved but the trees have leaves on google earth and the road disappears about where the gravel was. It will be a great drive if pavement has been completed down to I-26
