I left Biloxi with Jimmy Buffet blaring on the CD player. “Brown Eyed Girl” came on and I felt sad that “the GF” was so far away back in Durango.
I crossed the bridge to Ocean Springs, MS and then on up to I-10. I stayed on I-10 to Alabama and enjoyed the beautiful view of Mobile Bay on the causeway. After crossing Mobile Bay I got off on US 98, which I thought would be a nice, scenic drive to Pensacola. It was more scenic, but the traffic was heavy and very slow.
When I got to Pensacola I stayed on US 98 and toured the “Redneck Riviera” of beaches along the Florida coast. I had seen some good motel prices in Fort Walton Beach, so when I got to Panama City i doubled back. I’m not scheduled to be in North Carolina until Monday, so I’m going to take a few rest days here at the beach.
Sunny Florida?! Am so jealous! Have fun and be safe!
