Day 40 - (11/03) Pensacola, FL

Monday - we travelled to Pensacola today. It was a relatively short drive (109 miles).

We continue to take the beach routes. They offer wonderful views of small communities and life in the area. There's much less evidence of hurricane damage here than in LA and MS.

The weather continues to be wonderful ... 38 of our 40 days of travel have been sunny and clear. What a blessing!

We're now in the FL Big Lagoon State Park. It's located on the Gulf coast just west of Pensacola. We're surrounded by palms, pines, sand and marshland. We're warned that alligators and snakes are legitimate residents here.

Special sights ...
  • The drive across Mobile Bay was breathtaking
  • The battleship USS Alabama, a B52 and an F4 were on display at a museum on the Bay
