The Scenic Version
- Make Your Way to I-20 Eastbound.

- Proceed 26 miles to Gadsden. Noteworthy places along the route:
...Ohatchee, about 15 miles up the road. It is a HUGE speed trap.
...The Coosa River and its backwaters - they make for a lovely drive
...Southside, another speed trap.
...The old Southside bridge - it's green metal and one lane now, but it used to be TWO.
