Monday was a long day of driving through Alabama, south to north, through Mobile, Montgomery, and Birmingham.  The scenery was quite boring, mile after mile of trees and shrubs with few towns or variations in the landscape.  We ended the day crossing into northwest Georgia (another change of time zone) and arrived at Cloudland Canyon State Park, close to Chattanooga.

We arrived after the park office closed for the day but managed to find the East Rim campground and set up, one of only three sets of campers in a good-sized area.  The park was nearly empty, but apparently it's very popular with hikers, with trails going from the rim of the canyon down to its bottom, with views of waterfalls.

Between the change to Daylight Savings Time and the loss of an hour going from Central to Eastern Time Zone,  it was hard to figure out just what time it was.  I managed to sleep until 7:45 on Tuesday morning, very unusual for me, and even then the sun had not yet gotten above the mountain behind us so it was barely light!
