Sunday Driving

Sunday afternoons are good for getting out of the big city of Huntsville and finding out what the rest of North Alabama has to offer. Today's destination was supposed to be Dismal's Canyon in Franklin Co., Alabama. (Fact: Dismal's Canyon is one of the few places outside New Zealand where the "glowworms" known as dismalites are known to exist.) Unfortunately, I didn't do my homework beforehand, and it turned out that the park was closed. Oh well...we'll save that for another weekend.

Another point of interest along the way was Hackleburg, Alabama, hometown of country legend Sonny James. James is known for hits such as "Young Love," "A Little Bit South of Saskatoon," and "Running Bear" (not to be confused with the parody "Runnin' Bare").
