The top of Florida:
Britton Hill
Elevation:345 feet
Location:south of Florala, AL
Date:04/27/2002

The drive from Louisana's Driskill Mountain to Florida's highest point was pretty uneventful. We did enjoy seeing the Mobile Bay on our short duration in Alabama and counting the Magnolia trees along the way.

My father and I at the highest point in Florida.

We actually had to drive back into Alabama then cross back into Florida to reach the lowest state highpoint in the entire country. At 345 feet, Lakewood, or Britton Hill is little more than a small rest area along the road. We walked around a bit and took a picture at the granite "summit" marker.

We then drove back into Alabama and got a campsite at the Florala State Park. We also found a nice dinner spot in downtown Florala, the Uptown Cafe, which I would highly recommend.

The next morning we drove up into the hills again for a visit to Alabama's Cheaha Mountain.
