Did a really good job avoiding interstate highways as we angled across Mississippi and Alabama for the northwest corner of Georgia. As usual, that provided nice scenery and insights into local lifestyle as well as a fortuitous meeting with J.K. Briggs in Scooba, MS.
Mr. Briggs' family has run a service station, C-store, and BBQ joint at 5 Corners since 1942. We visited about deer hunting, where all the quail have gone and cooking. He insisted we take a jar of his "dressing or sauce...or something " saying it goes on anything and he ships to folks all over the country.
He also expressed his concerns about the black bears that are moving into the area. Said at his age the bear better show his backside or he'd shoot it no matter what the laws say.
Can't find much of that on the interstates.
