I grew up in Huntsville and left back in '74. It's funny that there, they are mountains even though they are foothills of the Smokeys but like mentioned you go to the Smokeys and they laugh at you for calling them mountains, LOL. I spent my youth hiking all over the local mountains and helped mark trails that are now part of the park system.
There's a possibility that I may be moving back. I have a lot of family and friends there. I'll keep an eye out for you other Huntsville guys if you'll send me you email addies, bwilliams69atexcitedotcom
