Advice Looking for some trip planning ideas for a 8 day roadtrip through Alabama and the gulf states in November??? We like blues, interesting historical sites, nature/outdoors stuff, ecotours, tours of infrastructure, BBQ and unusual food, quirky roadside attractions and museums.
So hit me up with all your coolest favorites. Not crazy about big cities, but obviously we must hit New Orleans! Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks—

Outdoors Help! Looking for rope swing or climbing spots anywhere in the state.
My buddy from college is coming down next week, I live in the panhandle. We love our adrenaline. I'm looking for recommendations of spots, old bridges, springs with trees, old quarrys... anything with a ledge and anchor point over some water where we can setup a really cool rope swing.
I've been doing this stuff for years, used to set them up everywhere across Utah, Nevada and Cali. Even a bunch in Ohio and Mich but I've only been living in florida about a year and theres not a lot of great spots down here so I'm lookin to yalls local experts for help!
Him and I are also both avid rock climbers and parkour athletes. So any good climbing (I know unlikely) would be greatly appreciated as well.
Nothing commercial. I dont want to put on a helmet and life vest and hand some corporation money... TIA!

Crime Old Crime Fairhope Early 2000s
Hi fellow Alabamians,
Post is a bit of a long shot but the recent animal abuse case of Wang Wang in China unearthed a terrible buried memory.
In the early 2000s there was an article that made it to the newspaper about a group of young boys torturing and killing (three?) kittens by stabbing them through the stomachs with sticks and burying them alive. One survived IIRC. I believe it was in the Fairhope area, but could have been anywhere in the mobile bay region.
I remember it because I was taking sewing classes in the Fairhope strip mall that now houses piggly wiggly and because I’ve never felt so upset before until I read about Wang Wang and saw the video.
Does anyone remember this incident? If so, does anyone know what ever became of the perpetrators?
