Goodbye St. George Island, Hello Redneck Riviera

Even after 2 weeks on the island we still haven't had enough. The weather has been amazing (in comparison to 2 years ago when it went below freezing almost every night). But, there is a 14 day maximum stay here, and it's time to let someone else enjoy this amazing place. 

On the typical day here, I would take my chair and umbrella on the bike in the morning and head to the beach, only a few minutes away. Darlene would join me later with the car, bringing snacks and a cold beer. Life's a beach! I have read more books already than I usually read in a year. The e-bike is approaching 300 kms on the odometer, most of it done here.

Next stop is Big Lagoon State Park, still in Florida but only a few miles from the Alabama state line and Gulf Shores, otherwise known as The Redneck Riviera. Yeee-haaa!

And that reminds me of a Redneck joke:
What are a Redneck's famous last words?
"That weren't nuthin', hold my beer and watch this!"

I had to find another cell phone service provider.
The Roam Mobility service I had signed up for before we left was pretty much useless. The new service is with AT&T and I'll never go elsewhere, their coverage is the best, unlimited everything  and at one third the cost.
I guess my new number is quite similar to a local "entrepreneur". The first night I got a text  ....."can I buy 2g from you". I screen captured the very short conversation. kinda funny. (phone # clipped to protect the guilty)

I'll bet Massiah's friend is still looking over his shoulder....he he.

Next night another potential customer. Damn, this is starting to look like a business opportunity.

Translations welcome, I haven't a clue what "finna get off tm" means.

Big Lagoon State Park was a nice quiet place. It has a couple of small beaches but we'll remember it for it's outstanding trails for hiking and biking. 

 

It looks like we're in for a change in the weather for the next few days. Still warm but lots of severe weather warnings.


Next week.....New Orleans!
