With that said, we walked in at 130ish after waiting at the Pell city one the majority of the day, to which they turned us away. The deputy recommended the Jacksonville office and off we went. The clerk was about to turn us away and I was like maam, we just drove 70ish miles to be here, and the deputy was the one that told us.... This lady had pity on the situation and gave me a number. That's heart. Alternatively ALEA is 20+ years behind the times and needs to be demolished.

I understand she has a job to do and needs to keep things moving, but she is the last person who should be dealing with the public. She spoke too quickly, treated us like we were stupid for asking questions, and made the entire process unnecessarily stressful. If you don't want to do the job, please find a new one -- people come here needing help, not hostility. The ladies and gentleman in the back were very kind and nice!

The Rangers/Staff made our day by having a cancelation stamp available at the Chambers of Commerce in Anniston, along with additional information. We able to visit the actual site of the bus bombing & get a feel of the area. There is still a vibe surrounding the spot. The Bus Mural with information panels really broke down the chain of events so you could fully understand the sequence of actions by those involved. It is crazy to think this was not that long ago, we still have a ways to go and thank God there are individuals like the Freedom Riders who are willing to risk their life to get us there.

The marker reads, "Ocford Lake Centennial. 1889-1989. Oxford Lake, since the 1800's, has been the social & recreational center for this area. In the 1900's there was horse racing, boating, & a trolley line that brought visitors to the park. In the 1930s the lake had an amusement park. This site was also an Indian campground in the early 1800's." The plaque was erected on April 15, 1989 by the The Oxford Arts Council. It's looking like it could use a touch up.
