No stops until the lunch break in Huntsville, Al at the Polaris Mfg Co.
Thousands watch as we ride by. Host
AL-TN Trail of Tears Corridor Association. As many as 4,000 deaths occurred because of this forced removal of civilized Native Americans from their rightful homes. In the end, members of the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole nations suffered the same fate as the Cherokees. Join us as we honor those from the past who traveled this Trail of Tears as we ride the Drane/Hood Overland Route. Let us learn from this mistake, accept each other as we are, and ride together in peace.

Alabama Voters for Responsible Animal Legislation (AVRAL) is a grassroots, non partisan political action committee (PAC) registered in the state of Alabama. We are working to influence legislation and support the passage of policies favorable to the welfare of companion animals.

Bill HB403, sponsored by Representatives Steve McMillian and Joe Faust.

Alabama is Truly a Birding Paradise.
Alabama is truly a birding paradise. With forests, mountains, meadows, swamps and beaches dotting the landscape, there is a plethora of avian habitats. From the majestic bald eagle, symbol of our nation's heritage, to the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker, to the crowd-pleasing painted bunting, over 400 species of birds grace the blue skies above Alabama.
Now, with marked trails in the northern and southern parts of the state, the experience is even more enjoyable. The Alabama Coastal Birding Trail, arranged as a series of loops, combines the birding spots most frequented by Alabama birders in the Gulf Coast region.
Meanwhile, the North Alabama Birding Trail includes 50 sites and spans 11 counties North of the state. Species seen at these sites include bald eagles, sandhill cranes, hummingbirds and large concentrations of migratory waterfowl. Visit this wonderfulwebsite to find out where to explore and see these beautiful creatures. http://www.800alabama.com/yooa/birds/

HASRA 5th Annual "Run For Their Lives" Color Run
McFarland Park Florence, Alabama
The Heart of Alabama Save Rescue Adopt 5th Annual 5k/1mile Color Run is a family oriented event that is open to well behaved dogs that are up to date on vaccines.
In keeping with the fun, we encourage you to dress up or at least wear white for maximum effect of the color toss! This year's t-shirts will have a white background. Be sure to preregister to get one! This run is untimed but is a certified course if you wish to time yourself.
North Alabama animal shelters are overwhelmed with animals. Because these animals need so much attention, and because new ones come every day, shelters rely heavily on volunteers. But these volunteers can't do everything alone - they need financial help, they need to raise awareness in the community about our pet population issues, and they need to recruit more animal lovers to become volunteers. That's why HASRA was formed - Heart of Alabama: Save, Rescue, Adopt.
HASRA is committed to continuing our support of North Alabama animal shelters, and to help save as many unwanted animals as possible.

Unfortunately, there are many more animals abandoned in Mobile County than there are homes to adopt them. Please Opt-To-Adopt! There is no more loving or loyal pet than a shelter animal.
