Let’ Drive Tour
Covered Bridges

April 12
We gathered at the Tractor Supply in Trussville to begin our tour to the covered bridges of Blount County. Blount County is known as the “Covered Bridge Capital of Alabama”. Although the day started out rather cool, the day turned into a beautiful day for touring and exploring. Ken did an incredible job of mapping out the drive. Our first stop was the Swan Bridge. You no longer drive across this bridge, but you can walk across it. The river was up because of the recent rains and it provided a beautiful scene
The next bridge was the Easley Bridge which we drove across and then stopped to get out and admire the bridge and the view. We were able to walk down the hill and look at the creek below and get a different view of the bridge. The underneath side provided an interesting view of the immense beams used in the construction.
Next, we drove to Palisades Park in Oneonta Alabama. This was an amazing place with spectacular views.
We finished up the tour at Horton Bridge. This bridge is also closed to through traffic. Another beautiful bridge, but we didn’t spend too long here because the next stop for the day was Lunch!
We went to Charlie B’s in Oneonta for lunch. It is a local meat and three café. They also had delicious desserts. It was delicious and allowed us plenty of time to relax and review the day. After lunch, we returned home via some beautiful back roads.
If you missed this tour, I hope that you will consider joining us for the next event. It was a great day to enjoy old cars and friends.

Let’s Drive Tour
Welborn Muscle Car Museum

January 25 – Alexander City
Several members drove to the museum on Saturday morning. It was a beautiful day for the drive, and we were joined by some members of the Mopar Club for the drive up to Alexander City.
When we arrived at the museum we were met by Alton Freeman, the museum curator, who gave us a personal tour. He was a delightful tour guide with lots of stories about the museum and the cars.
After the tour of the museum, he also took us to another building to see some of his personal cars that he is working on.
It was a great day and we topped it of with a visit to the local bar-b-q restaurant which was very good.​
