Several members took a ride to Horseshoe Bend National Military Park today, on the “Cheese Ball Run”. Fred Hughy, Pat Tyler, Tom Romine, Terry Akins and Jim Wingo met in Franklin, Georgia at the old Gulf Station built in 1932. They then moved to the Military Park located in Alabama where the Battle at Horseshoe Bend was fought in 1814 by General Andrew Jackson against the Red Stick tribe. A victory which helped propel Jackson’s election to the Presidency in 1828. From there the group moved to have lunch at the Generals Cafe at New Sight, Alabama for their world famous cheese balls. 200 miles round trip.
