We finally decided to head towards our home for the next week, Huntsville. Two more stops on the way. We spotted this cool old railroad tunnel on the way there, we stopped to snap a picture (and find a geocache).
We then made one more stop, in Scottsboro, AL. Anyone know what Scottsboro is famous for? That is where all of your lost luggage ends up. Not the lost luggage that makes it way back to you a few days later, but the lost luggage that you never see again. The unclaimed baggage center buys in bulk all of the lost luggage from airlines. They have EVERYTHING in there. They probably have more sets of headphones than should ever be in one place at one time but they also have some stranger things that we are actually quite shocked ever make it onto a plane in the first place. Why would anyone bring a board game in their checked luggage? How about the 53 pound weight? Aren’t you limited to 50 pounds in your checked bag before they charge you extra? What about the bikes and PC’s? Who checks those? They have wedding dresses (kind of sad), jewelry, every kind of clothing imaginable, MANY iPods, luggage of course, books, and just about anything else you check in your luggage. There are knives, but there didn’t seem to be any firearms. We also didn’t see any pet carriers, I guess that is a good thing.
Once we left we saw a pretty cool car just before arriving at our hotel. Clearly a lot of work went into painting this one:
