I was originally going to go through Mobile down to FL, but at the last second I remembered there was another path via Grand Bay AL. The town I am in now is actually an island and is called dauphin Island. It seems super cool and I wish I had the the time to tour around it. Maybe another time.
I had a headwind all day. Nothing major, but just enough to let you know you had a headwind. I still made over 70 miles.
Besides the sun being out all day (big change) there was only one other highlight. (Besides a lot of bridges. They are like man made hills BTW. Some of them were pretty steep and hard.) When I made the turn towards the ferry there were like 10 school buses headed the same way. There was a series of stop signs and railroads at the same area. Each bus had to stop at the railroads every time. So, I passed the buses and was passed by the buses 3 times or so. I got more cat calls from the girls on the buses than I have ever got in my life. (Highschoolish). Not sure how I should feel about that haha. One offered me her half ate orange. No thanks little lady. AND, one little butthole threw out a marker at me and it hit me in the side. I SO wanted to catch up and whoop an ass. Still, nice shot. Props to that.
Lastly, at the gas station on the island, I asked the clerk girl for directions. Here is what I heard: "Go down a mile and make a right. It is right behind the whore house." I wanted to say "You have those here??!" But I knew I must have heard wrong so I just stared at her for a minute. "Excuse me?" Oar house. Ohhhh! Thanks. (I actually ate dinner there and it was as far from a whore house as you can get. A sausage house is a better description.)
My goal for tomorrow is Fort Walton Beach--or Eglin AFB. Same same. It will be one of my longer days on the trip but I have a couch to sleep on at a friend's house so it will be worth the extra effort. Free "room" and catching up with an old buddy. Until then.....
