Trip report: Stayed at Baytown Inn and Suites on Montgomery highway. Adequate room, free breakfast and Wi-Fi. About 17 minutes from Airport and absolutely no issue with traffic @ 0600 on a Sunday Morning. Rented from Enterprise, a Chevy Sonic. Adequate car, tight suspension (made I-65 feel like driving over a cheese grater. Found a Sam's Club within 3 miles of the Hotel and filled up Saturday night. Sam's is not 24/7 fuel. Wound up paying 3.33 a gallon, which 4 cents less than the "fill it up" rate from Enterprise.
Got copies of Mary J. Hudspeth's probate documents but will need to analyse further if there is any help within. They wre on Microfilm and the process was reasonably easy to get copies at a buck a page, but I recommend going at 0800 for the future if you want happy probate clerks (they were pretty slammed when I got there).
Also did Birmingham Library (very nice), Museum of Art (not the best but nice, with a great turkey sandwich in the cafe), Vulcan park and Museum, as well as the Southern Museum of Flight, which has some very good exhibits including some on the tuskegee airmen. They also have on loan from Wright Pat/AF historical a TF-102A side by side trainer.
