Monte Sano SP, AL

We rolled from Searcy right across 64 to Memphis and then dropped down to Corinth, Mississippi where we stopped for lunch and picked up a couple of MS geocaches. The cotton was white and fluffy and appeared ready for harvest.


Our destination was Monte Sano State Park on the other side of Huntsville. We did not stop for astronaut training. I wonder what will happen with their Space Camp program!


Monte Sano, the mountain of health, rose abruptly on the outskirts of Huntsville, Alabama and what a beautiful place.

We walked the North Plateau Trail that led us to the overlook, to several geocaches, and to the Werner Von Braun Observatory. It is a shame we did not have more time on our schedule to spend here.


There I am signing the log for my first Alabama cache.


We joined Leon's cousins Nancy, Tony, and Terri, and their friends for a delicious supper and campfire. The temperatures dropped as we ascended the mountain and we would be in long pants and long sleeves for several days. Leon doesn't like the flash on my new camera!
