  • Visiting Mount Woodall, the highest point in Mississippi

We drove to the top of Woodall Mountain, the highest point in Mississippi, all 806 feet of it.
  • Seriously. That’s it. The rest of the day was just a lot of driving in the rain.

Ainsley might be a whopping 810 feet above sea level by standing on top of this rock.
