Bald Rock at Mount Cheaha, Alabama.
May 22, 2014
Beautiful day with my children. We read that "Cheaha" was a Creek Indian word for "high place". It is the highest point in the State of Alabama.
"Sweet home Alabama where skies are so blue"
Steve brought me to Mount Cheaha in June 1990. It was really the only "true" date we had. He didn't have any money because he had been paid with a check and didn't get to the bank before it closed, but being the man that he was he didn't tell me. I didn't understand why we didn't stop somewhere and eat. He bought me a bag of chips and a drink at the country store at the entrance to the park. We rode past the lake and there were people in peddle boats and I said I sure did like riding them. He said, "I hate them" very seriously so I said, "Okay, I don't want to ride them anyway." Untrue, I did want to ride them, but if he didn't I wasn't going to push. It was after we were married that he told me he didn't have any cash that day and was afraid he wouldn't make it home with the little bit of gas he had in his car. We laughed about it then and every other trip to Cheaha we ever took!
