It would be nice if this sign was everywhere we didnt need to be. Turn us around, or at least slow us down and make us think.
I first saw this sign on Highway 117, between Sherwood, and Stevenson Alabama. I went back a week or so later, and slowed down and took this picture.
The delivery was back to a big customer in Bryant Alabama. There are at least four ways to get there. I've been three of them now. I-24, Scottsboro, and Stevenson.
There is no air conditioning in truck #20, but the tires are good and the radio works. Q97.3 was cranked up loud to be heard over the open windows. As I drove down the back of Mt. Eagle Mountain, Glen Campbell sang, Try A Little Kindness. He recorded this in March of 1969. A link to the Youtube video:

Next time I might go the fourth way, Hwy 156 from Sewanee, down to South Pittsburg. 156 turns into 2nd Avenue. The Dixie Freeze is on the right going in. They call that way Jump-Off Road. 156 is a curvy, steep road, and the edges road drop off into deep ravines, and woods.
Some more interesting sights along the way...
I returned by I-24, The Taco Bell at Kimball is a good p;ace to cool off and get a bite to eat.
The next time I head that way, I'll have a tough decision to make. Go Hwy 156, Jumpoff Road? With a perfectly good interstate going to the same place, it doesn't make much sense. But then, there isn't always a sign to slow us down, and keep us from taking the senic route.
