Twofer Tuesday... Florida and Alabama... Part Three

It is cloudy and looks misty as we head down the mountain road toward Cheaha Mountain, 2413 feet high. The road goes south and west from I-20, and like other high point approaches is lonely. The scenic overlooks along the way don't do much for us because of the low-hanging clouds. We reach the summit by car and it is socked in and really quite spooky. The summit tower, constructed in the 1930s by the CCC looks positively haunted in the fog. We are silly and giddy here, maybe from the long day in the car, and maybe from bagging another high point. We climb the stairs of the tower, run around in the mist, make spooky sounds, take our family picture and head out. We retrace our steps to Birmingham then head north and west to Muscle Shoals, AL for the night. Vignette: Turner teaches Rene' the hand motions of rap music, including motions for "southside" and "eastside." All are edified. It has been an amazing, fantastic day. Tomorrow, Mississippi and Arkansas.
