Route description

SR 168 is aligned along a two-lane road for its duration. From its western origin at Douglas in southeastern Marshall County, the route travels eastwardly as it leads towards Boaz. At Boaz, the route turns northeastwardly, crossing US 431 and leading into DeKalb County. The eastern terminus of the route is at Kilpatrick, an unincorporated community near the border of DeKalb and Marshall Counties.[2]

SR 168 passes several outlet malls near downtown Boaz. The malls are located west of the junction between US 431 and SR 168.

gollark: I was thinking more about the fact that you can meddle with its functioning using magnets and whatnot.
gollark: That seems like an issue of the actual processing it's doing (though I don't think there's a consensus on what exactly hypnosis is and how it works), instead of the hardware.
gollark: I'm not sure I would trust my brain to computers in any case, given the horrible security record of... most complex computer systems... which will likely only get worse as complexity increases. Though I suppose my foolish organic brain has its own (probably not remotely exploitable, at least?) security flaws.
gollark: SSDs are pretty dense. They're just expensive.
