ALABAMA: Sweet Home Alabama! 2 nights at Talladega National Forest to be precise!

Following the advice of a Burlington local, Pops, who we met after he motioned us into a museum for the worlds largest collection of arrowheads at Cheaha State Park- we are currently driving down scenic 49south towards Florida! But, let's backtrack...

We arrived at Talladega National Forest on Tuesday night (night driving is spooky) at a very primitive campground (even spookier) and hit the hay (all while hearing spooky things)!

The next day, we had an amazing but strenuous 7 mile hike which pushed us to find Cheaha lake and take a swim! We cooked up a modified Annie's lasagne (substituting ground beef and water with beans and beef stock) which after such a hike and only oatmeal for breakfast tasted like heaven!

Since we were without our "connection" to the outside world (aka smart phone) we used our atlas and Pops advice to plan our next route down to Florida!

What a pleasant surprise you were Alabama!
