March 27th, It's Spring!!! Drive
The drive was held in mild weather, we left M-B Huntsville heading East to Woodville, AL. Up Rt 8 to Skyline, AL Down Crow Mountain's twisty, hairpins on Rt 33. Stopping the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant that never produced any energy, the reactors had not been installed. Following the South shore of Lake Guntersville to Guntersville State Park where we ate our picnic lunches. From there one group headed South to Gadsden and home, the other cars traveled over Green Mountain and into Huntsville. The roads were wonderful to drive, the views spectacular, and Spring plants were cheerfully blooming.
