2017 11-03 Ocean Spring to Dauphin Island (57.7 miles)

Some may be growing tired of seeing pictures of sunrises or sunsets, but on this trip they have been a treat that is always welcomed.  And this morning the sunrise was another one to remember.  It was a perfect way to start a great day of cycling. 

Half of today’s ride was along route 90, and this was our way to get back onto the official route.  Route 90 has wide shoulders that are generally in good shape.  The traffic was at times heavy, but the wide shoulders made it safe and thus not stressful.  While on 90 and shortly before resuming the official route, we achieved another milestone.  We left Mississippi and entered Alabama! 

In the afternoon we cycled along Mobile Bay!  It was scenic, interesting and relaxing!!  Crossing the Gordon Persons Bridge, we arrived at Dauphin Island where we will camp at the Dauphin Island Park camp ground.  This is a very nice camp, clean and well laid out.  It has excellent shower facilities and a recreation room for relaxing. It is also conveniently located a few hundred yards from the ferry, which we will be taking in the morning to cross Mobile Bay so we can continue our ride into Pensacola, FL.  Yes, tomorrow we will achieve another milestone, entering our seventh and final state.
