    Great stuff here. We have a street named Chickasaw right next to us, and I never knew the origin. I've not yet been to Alabama and enjoyed learning more about it.

    Born and raised in the Heart of Dixie! The state parks in AL need to be noticed. They are a treasure to our state.

    I lived in Scottsboro Alabama and graduated from Jacksonville State University so I had fun remembering all these great parks. Wonderful lens.

    I haven't spent too much time in Alabama, but I did drive through it twice on road trips. Once just by the coastline, and once through the entire state through Birmingham to Mississippi. Nice work!
