March 18, 2011 – Travel to Alabama

We left our little site at the state park and made our way east past New Orleans and over the lake:

   

And swampy areas:

And into Mississippi where we stopped at the visitor center for some information.   This is the area where Katrina came inland – I cannot imagine the losses that these folks had to endure.

We left the interstate and took the scenic route along the coast.   Check out the white sandy beaches:

 

 

It was beautiful.   And then into Alabama – taking the tunnel under Mobile:

 

 

We are staying at the Escapee Park in Summerdale, Alabama for a week or so (site 39) – to meet up with some friends and check out the area so stay tuned.
