They are not going to get away with this! Hopefully, this is just a wake-up call. Only operate for-profit parks? WTF?

Cheaha, highest point in Alabama, magnificent drive, Roosevelt-era constructions on top of mountain. No way!

Desoto State Park, Little River Canyon area, Lookout Mountain are national treasures.

Blue Springs -- a Southern treasure! Coldest water I have ever been in!

And all the rest, invaluable to Alabamians!

Time to wake up!
