Dauphin Island, AL: Left Hattiesburg this morning around 9:30 and headed toward Mobile. Good roads all the way. Arrived in Dauphin Island around 1:00 and got set up. Had a quick lunch and then went for a walk down to the Gulf. The beach here is not pretty at all. But we’re not here for the beach. There’s a bike path the whole length of the island and we do a lot of biking. And there’s also several hiking trails. Walked the beach a little bit. The only view you get from the beach are all the oil rigs out in the Gulf. The trail in the woods is much prettier. But, the mosquitoes drove us back. Sprayed myself up pretty good and sat outside until the sun set. Warming up left-overs for dinner tonight. We’re here for 5 nights. This is a municipal campground—the only one on the island. Really nice though with lots of trees—live oaks.
