The last of the three “drive-up” highpoints on our trip was Woodall Mountain in Mississippi. We headed directly from Cheaha Mountain in Alabama, up through NW Alabama, passing through Muscle Shoals (of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s, “Sweet Home Alabama” fame for those of you hipsters that read this blog!) into Mississippi.

Woodall Mountain is a whopping 806 ft and the highpoint consists of a couple of signs, a bench and a large rock in the middle of the turnaround. We did see a couple giant daddy long leg-type spiders catching the last rays of sun on the afore-mentioned rock.

Once we snapped a few photos we geared up for another 15 hours in the car to make it up to New Ulm, MN by Thanksgiving. YEAH.

Our total mileage on this roadtrip was 4818 miles – seems to put some of those good old-fashioned family car trips to shame! I guess with the gas prices down to $1.59/gallon in some areas of the SE, it made it a little more palatable!
