The morning at Spanish Fort dawned bright and clear with puddles everywhere. We packed up the trailer and started out for New Orleans via the coastal route. We hopped on I-10 heading west toward New Orleans. I exited the freeway a little early, so we had a nice tour of Mobile and surrounding area. We crossed over the Mobile River on the Cochrane-Africatown USA Bridge and came down into an old neighborhood with massive oak trees forming a canopy over the road. P...

We arrived late afternoon at Meaher State Park Campground. We set up the trailer and took a tour of the campground on our bikes. Finally, it was time to settle down for the evening ~ dinner, work on blog, relax a little, then on to bed. The next morning dawn clear, cool and very humid. This morning was chore time which took most of the morning. Sharon made a nice lunch and packed it into our "electric picnic basket" (Yogi Bear proof), which will keep it cool for...

We took the "scenic route" - in other words, mostly side roads that hugged the coastline. We arrived rather late into our campground, Avalon Landing Campground. We settled into our routine of setting up the trailer and exploring the campground. The next day, we w...

First of all, we drove up to Tallahassee to see the state capitol. It was only 34 miles directly north of where we are staying. The old capitol building has been turned into the Florida Historical Capitol Museum, which is directly in front of the present capitol building. We parked right across the street un...

Today is our much anticipated return to touring the US. We're so thankful for the ways God has led, protected and provided for us during this hiatus in our travels. Sharon's friend from childhood, Lorraine Qualls and her family were nearby and blessed us in many ways: shared her church home for us in FL, cooked and shared many meals and outings, and just made us feel at home. She even kept Roxie for us so we could do an all day outing. She and her family helpe...
