State Highpoint #5 - Mississippi

 Woodall Mountain (807’ above sea level) - Mississippi


The word “mountain” is loosely used in the south I have noticed. As a boy from Utah, that grew up under the shadow of the Wasatch, I would warmly call this state highpoint, Woodall “bump”. If it weren’t for the road signs guiding me to the top of the hill, I wouldn’t have been able to decipher it from any other small mound in the area, as the designated highest point in Mississippi. And thankfully there was a concrete stump and geographical marker to let us know we had arrived. 


In 2004, an iconic movie, with quotable lines was released, prompting Sarah and I to take this picture. Wonder if you can name the movie.
I’ll bet I could throw a football over them mountains!
