Hardridge Creek, Al.

Arrived here yesterday and it is another great COE park.

This morning we rode to Eufaula, Alabama and bought some groceries. There are a lot of beautiful old homes and streets in Eufaula and also the downtown area was quite busy lots of small old stores, we were going to stop by Alatech for a factory tour.

The last American factory making condoms for Usaid sits anonymously in a pine-shaded industrial park here in Eufaula. Inside a modern, low-slung building owned by Alatech Healthcare, ingenious contraptions almost as long as a football field repeatedly dip 16,000 phallic-shaped bulbs into vats of latex, with the capacity to turn out a billion condoms a year.

But we didn't have time to fit it in to today's schedule.

You should have stopped in for a custom fit.
