I was in Tuscaloosa a few months before this trip. This time I covered most of the rest of the state to visit most all of the other colleges. Just one remains unvisited. After all of the delays in Florida, it was pleasant to be in another state that delayed me only a few minutes, and that was as I approached Birmingham.

There a university in Livingston AL -- the University of West Alabama. It is about an hour's drive southwest of Tuscaloosa AL, the home of the University of Alabama. I went through that town when on the way to Tuscaloosa there a few months ago but at the time did not know of West Alabama. Besides, it was already after sunset when I drove through there so the photograph would have been in the dark, like the one in Tuscaloosa is less than ideal (and I would like the chance to do it again plus maybe find a REAL Univ of AL sign vs. the one I found. These are a very low priority to return to Alabama.
