Description

Perhaps I should have titled this series "Exploring the Dixie Overland Highway"!  One of the fascinating facts about the "Named Highways" was they were merely routes, selected by private associations, along existing roads.  While road condition played a role in route selection, so did the "enthusiasm" of businesses and communities along the way.  And yes, feel free to read "financial support" into enthusiasm.  Counties at first, then sometimes States were responsible for the marking and upkeep of the actual road.  There were many places where several competing roads chose alternate routes between two towns leading to a great deal of confusion for travelers.  Considering it was replaced around 80 years ago, this section is still navigable.  Albeit with caution!
