Gulf Pines KOA, Milton, FL, to Birmingham South RV Park, Birmingham, AL:  Instead of continuing on Interstate 10 today, we took Rt. 87 out of Milton to Rt. 31 and then we picked up I65 to Birmingham.  It’s always nice to get off the highway once in a while.  We got to see some of rural Florida and Alabama which was really pretty in places. Shortly after we got on I65, we stopped at a Flying J truck stop, fueled up and had breakfast at the Denny’s there.  Then Mike took over driving.  A lot of traffic on I65, but other than that, no problems.  Arrived at Birmingham South and were set up by 1:30.  It got really cold last night and the high today was the upper 50s.  We are not liking this at all. Sandwiches for dinner tonight.  

Dogwoods in bloom along the highway.
