I know some of you were worried about the tornado that hit Alabama. It was in Tuscaloosa and we are quite south from there. It's very sad and it really makes you think what would happen when you're in this little metal box. I hope we won't be in that situation but we have a plan so please don't worry. Say somes prayers for those who weren't so fortunate.
I had a beautiful drive to Dauphin Island mostly on the Interstate but then exited on to country roads through the town of La Batre and on a few miles to the BRIDGE! Well it wasn’t so bad and really quite fun to drive. See photos as I’m driving!!!! This is a really pretty spot and I found the RV Park which is right at the end of the island across from the ferry docking. Bill arrived shortly after and the weather was perfect so we launched Rocket to do some exploring.
We drove all the way to the other end of the island which really isn’t that far and were amazed at how beautiful it was. The beach and sand are so pretty you wouldn’t believe. We sat on the beach for a while and I could have stayed there for a week or more! I miss my River. There are a lot of beach houses for rent but not much else is here on the island. We talked to a local and Katrina really had an effect on the island and lots of business has been lost. So I think it’s mostly fishing.
I woke this morning at 4:30 am so I could watch the wedding. Of course I had to stay up late last night to watch Idol. If we don’t have local cable in the Parks, our satellite feed comes from California so it’s a 2 hour time difference and then California shows are an hour after AZ. I may need a little nap this afternoon!
Bill is taking the Ferry this morning but with the tides, RV’s aren’t always allowed so I think I am going overland. I'm still in bed and just heard the Ferry horn so I better get going. This was a great stopover.
Off to Pensacola today. Take care,
