Feb 15, 2012 - Langston, AL

From Florence, we drove to Huntsville for a stop at Costco and then to a campground we'd visited last summer, near Langston, AL. We arrived on the 13th and left on the 17th, doing much of nothing while we were there. It rained a lot and the weather didn't turn warm until it was time to leave.

Another beautiful day greeted us, on the 14th, and we left the magnificence of the Smoky Mountains. As I mentioned in the last post, our parking spot, in Pigeon Forge, was not the best we’ve ever had, because we had gotten the last available spot in the RV Park.

The hills in northern Alabama were a surprise. We have never been in this part of the state and it is gorgeous! To reach Mountain Lakes Resort, we drove east from Huntsville and followed Guntersville Lake for about fifteen miles. At that point we had only seen half of the length of the lake. It is formed by the Tennessee River and covers 69,000 acres. The park has one-half mile of lake frontage. This is a great place for fishing, boating, and watching Canada geese.
