Time to leave the Beach :(
We are heading north today to DeSoto State Park at the very northern border of Alabama. Not the destination, the journey. The park is on the north end of a scenic by-way. We passed on the "easy" route (highway) for the adventure!
We didn't have a map of elevation. Elevation is important in Northern Alabama.
We started at the southern end of the bi-way....uphill...up mountain. Way up....then way down....way down. Burned gas going up .... burned brakes going down. We were really up in the clouds. Reminded us of the Blue Ridge Parkway, but not as driver friendly.
No photos...too busy navigating. Ed knows how to down shift an automatic transmission. Amazing. Slow go, but great views.
We had a nice site for the evening...getting cooler. Tomorrow we head for Baggage Unlimited. This is a store known for collecting and reselling all airline passenger items left behind. Super thrift!

We opened the shop this AM. Yuck...what a bunch of junk. I'm a good thrifter...but this stuff, if left behind was worth the insurance claim and aggravation of losing it. Lots of end lots, Chinese junk.
In and out quickly.
We can say "been there, done that."
Spent the rest of the day driving to Lexington Kentucky, our next stop was the Kentucky Horse Park.
