Tom drove us from Berwick, through Houma, New Orleans, Biloxi & Mobile. Cruised along at 65-68mp near the coast of the Gulf of America. Just a few 20 minute traffic delays along I-10. After a fuel stop in Mobile (AL), there was another 12 minutes of driving, before arriving at Meaher State Park-Alabama. Very roomy RV site that are large & level. To wrap up the day, we decided that we deserved a relaxing dinner at Felix’s Fish Camp (5 minutes down the road).After arriving at Meaher State Park-Alabama in Spanish Fort (near Mobile), we drove the Jeep to the, nearby, Felix’s Fish Camp & enjoyed an EXCELLENT dining experience. Very tasty food & great service. Beautiful view of the causeway/bay & in the distance we could see the U.S.S. Alabama.
At the end of a travel day, and great dinner, we relaxed around the TomsMaHauL motorhome & enjoyed a stroll around the park when Teri captured a few photos a beautiful sunset (below). In the background of the dock photo is the long I-10 bridge. We’ve crossed that bridge many times for several years, & would always mention that we’d stay at this park, someday. Someday finally arrived.
