Last Thursday I had a great drive down a long ridge extending from Prattville/Montgomery all the way to Centreville Alabama. I asked three different locals the name of this high ground near the sky. I was told it didn't have a name. But there must be an old man somewhere who remembers a forgotten name of such a fine piece or real estate sprinkled with peach orchards.
Countless yellow wild flowers lined the highway. Every petaled face watched the sun blush and hide behind the trees. For almost two hundred years wagons have lumbered down this high road, and before that, the Creeks and Alabamas walked it's narrow path. All travelers kept to the high ground avoiding the muddy creek bottoms. Interestingly those moving westward toward the Rockies learned to follow the rivers avoiding the rocky ridges.
