Miles, Meters, and Maybe a Little Moonshine
The answer, my friends, depends on which part of Alabama you're hankering to visit. Think of it like this: Alabama stretches from the Appalachian foothills all the way down to the sugar-white sands of the Gulf Coast. That's a lot of territory to cover!
Here's the skinny:
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
- As the crow flies (or maybe a particularly determined bald eagle): You're looking at roughly 580 miles (933 kilometers). That's a straight shot, mind you, so forget about scenic detours for fried green tomatoes or antique malls.
- By car: Buckle up, buttercup, because you've got a 644-ish mile (1037 kilometers) journey ahead of you. Depending on your route and how heavy your foot is on the gas pedal, this could translate to a good 10-12 hour road trip.
But hey, that's plenty of time to:
- Belt out Motown classics at the top of your lungs.
- Debate the finer points of coney dogs versus chili cheese dogs.
- Stock up on snacks (because let's be honest, rest areas can be, well, interesting).
