Shady Cove RV Park, Hattiesburg, MS, to Dauphin Island, ALHeaded out at 10:10 this morning under heavy clouds spitting rain.  Continued south on Rt. 49 for a few miles and then headed south on Rt. 98 and then south on Rt. 63.  Really good four-lane, limited access highway all the way down to Moss Point on I-10 where we stopped for food and fuel.  Mike started driving after lunch.  Only a short drive now to Dauphin.  We arrived around 2:30 and got set up.  This is a municipal park—the only one on the island.  It’s way at the eastern end of the island—just a short walk from the ferry over to Gulf Shores.  There’s a bike path the whole length of the island and several hiking trails.  By the time we hit I-10,  the rain had stopped and the sun came out.  73 when we got here.
