Alabama is way nicer than it's given credit for. I drive most of the way through the backcountry highways and it's great. We stop at a great many small towns and they're surprisingly clean and charming.

I noticed a lot of public works improvements and activity. Turns out they finally put a tax on gasoline and put that into the new Rebuild Alabama Act. The results are most impressive.

Another neat thing, Alabama is the most heavily forested state in the union. Nice!
