The Gulf

After 6 days we finally arrived at the Gulf of Mexico at Port St. Joseph. We were able to dodge nearly all the nasty weather over the last 2 days. It rained buckets 2 nights ago while we were parked at Walmart in Troy AL, near Montgomery. A few showers yesterday but mostly sunny and temps in the high 20's.

Our first view of the Gulf.

After Port St. Joseph it was still about another 50 miles to the park. We had to cross 2 very long bridges about 10 miles in total to get to St. George Island State Park.

In Canada we build something like this so we can get to PEI. Americans built this so they can get to the beach!!

This is our spot in the park. Nice pines for shade and you can hear the surf. Total distance to here was 1397 miles.

Went for a walk on the beach yesterday afternoon. Picked out a spot where we will set up our chairs and Umbrella tomorrow and have a beer or two and maybe read a book.
The sand here is very fine and pure white.

Well, that's it for now. Going to check out the boat ramp later today. Hope to cross one or two off the bucket list in the next few days.
