GULF SHORES AND FAIRHOPE.

LET'S RECAP THE LAST TWO DAYS.

THURSDAY, GOT UP TO THE BEACH EARLY. NOT MANY PEOPLE THERE. CLOUDY, BUT HOT --- 86 AT 9 AM. AND IT GOT HOTTER. GREAT BEACH. THEN WE HIT THE OUTLETS. AGAIN, NOT CROWDED AT ALL.

LUNCH AT LAMBERT'S CAFE, HOME OF THE "THROWED ROLLS" . CHECK IT OUT HERE.
AND THEY KEEP BRINGING STUFF - OKRA, MAC & TOMATOES, HOME FRIES, CUKES & ONIONS, BLACK EYED PEAS..... IT WAS REALLY FUN AND THE PORK CHOPS --- YUMMY !!

TOOK SOME PICS OF THE CAMPGROUND. BEST CAMPGROUND WE HAVE STOPPED AT IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. CLEAN AND WELL LAID OUT. WE WILL BE BACK HERE AGAIN.

WE HIT THE LARGEST WALMART IN THE COUNTRY, THE "STORE BY THE SHORE" AS IT IS CALLED. THEN WE WENT TO FAIRHOPE ON MOBILE GULF. IT WAS WINDY, BUT GREAT. REALLY NICE PARK, FREE- UNLIKE CAP ST. JACQUES. THE TOWN ITSELF IS GREAT. ONE OF THE NICEST TOWNS WE HAVE SEEN - IN THE TOP 3 IN THE NATION. GREAT SHOPS, GALLERIES.

WE WILL WINTER HERE WHEN WE TIRE OF FLORIDA.

BILOXI REDUX

IT WAS A WET DRIVE FROM MEMPHIS. WE HAD PLANNED ON STOPPING IN JACKSON, BUT THE DELUGE WAS EVEN WORSE THAN PREDICTED. WAVE AND WAVE AFTER WAVE.SO WE WENT ON TO BILOXI.

WE GOT HERE AND IT WAS 86 DEGREES. SET UP AND 15 MINUTES LATER, THE STORM HIT. LIGHTNING AND THUNDER.
BOOM BOOM POW !!!
BUT IT COOLED IT DOWN TO 77 DEGREES.

TODAY, RUSS AND ROBIN MOVED ON TO BUSHNELL. WE ARE STAYING HERE FOR 2 NIGHTS, AND THEN MOVING ON TO HERE ( CLICK ON IT !!!! ). WE WILL STAY AT WELSH FOR 3 NIGHTS AND THEN ON TO TOPSAIL FOR 3 MORE.

TODAY WE RE-VISITED BILOXI. THEY ARE STILL REBUILDING. CASINOS ARE OPEN AND BUSTLING, SOME RESTAURANTS ARE RE-OPEN. BUT 85% OF THE TOWN IS STILL DEVASTATED. 2 MAJOR HURRICANES, BACK TO BACK.

WENT TO THE BEACH. 87 DEGREES AND THE WATER IS AT 80. THERE WERE NO PEOPLE AT THE BEACH, NONE.
