I found a few interesting sights while riding around southern Alabama.

Lady of the Lake at the Barber Marina. Note the large heron standing on the dock for size reference.

A dinosaur going nose-to-nose with my GSA.

Nice pictures!

If you find yourself in Northwest Alabama, I can recommend a visit to Dismals Canyon. I grew up in Northeast Mississippi and made several trips there. It is a fascinating place. I am not sure it is still open though, so check before you go.

Dismals Canyon looks to still be open. I've saved the location in Google Maps, so I'll check it out if I am ever in that area. Thanks!
 
If you make up that way, I would also recommend a visit to Natural Bridge Park which is about 30 miles or so away in Winston County, Alabama. Natural Bridge Park contains the longest natural bridge east of the Rockies and is an interesting place to say the least. Also, Clarkson Covered Bridge is about 45 miles away from Natural Bridge Park. This whole area of North Alabama has a lot of nice landscape opportunities.

Winston County Alabama is also very interesting as it was a part of what was informally known as the Republic of Winston. This area of North Alabama refused to succeed from the Union and join the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. There was even a 1st Alabama Calvary Regiment in the Union Army based in this area. Talk about stress around the Thanksgiving table during and after the Civil War.....

Ok....history lesson is over now....🤓
