2013 Vacation

 

This year we took vacation early.  Sandy came down from Chicago to puppy sit and

me and Tom loaded the camper and headed east .

 

 

1st stop was Gulf Shores Alabama

This was the most interesting thing at the campground. If you cannot

 read the sign, click on it to enlarge it.

 We took a site seeing drive to Fort Morgan,AL.

It was pretty close to the camp ground.

It would have been better if there had been employees around to

tell you the history of the fort , or just to answer questions.

 

 

Fort Morgan is a historic masonry star fort at the mouth

of Mobile Bay, Alabama.

Fort Morgan was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960.^[2][9]

In 2007 it was listed as "one of the nation's 10 most endangered battle sites"

by the Civil War Preservation Trust

 

Amazing that a structure that was built in the 1880's has been

able to withstand all of the storms ...

 More pictures to follow later , and also the story about spending

one morning in urgent care while in Alabama

A day at the pier

 

Actually it was more like 45min.

It was windy and very cool..

I love this sculpture

 

 

 

 On this pier , they have lines painted and people must leave

their coolers  and other equipment inside the lines.

That way others ( like us) can walk around and 

watch them fish.  

It is like an obstable course  trying to stay out of the

way of people casting .  It is really a challenge to make it

around without getting hooked..

What a concept, a picture of me on vaation
