Exploring Southeast USA: Dothan, Alabama & the Mixed-Surface Roads, & Towns Beyond

"Dothan /ˈdoʊθən/ is a city in Dale, Henry, and Houston counties and the Houston county seat in the U.S. state of Alabama. It is Alabama's eighth-largest city, with a population of 71,072 at the 2020 census. It is near the state's southeastern corner, about 20 miles (32 km) west of Georgia and 16 miles (26 km) north of Florida." - Wikipedia.org

"Between 1763 and 1783, the region that is now Dothan was part of the colony of British West Florida. The first permanent white settlers consisted of nine families who moved into the area during the early 1830s to harvest the abundant timber. Their settlement, named Poplar Head after the spring, failed to thrive. It was all but abandoned by the time of the Civil War. After the war, a local Pony Express route was founded; together with other developments during the Reconstruction Era, the town began to grow. On November 11, 1885, the citizens voted to incorporate, naming their new city Dothan at the suggestion of a local clergyman after discovering that "Poplar Head" was already registered with the U.S. post office for a town in northern Alabama."

Along the way, he rides through the towns of Taylor - Alabama, Fadette - Alabama, Graceville - Florida, Slocomb - Alabama, and Malvern - Alabama. A route map will be provided later, some tweaks are required at the time of this video.
