Today we rode from Gautier, MS to Dauphin Island, AL. Alabama is the 7th state we entered, and we only have one more state after Alabama. Today’s ride seemed much easier than yesterday’s ride. The weather was better and it was a shorter ride. I felt energized riding today.
Today, along with the last couple of days, we rode at sea level most of the time. The only “hills” we had were the bridges over the large bodies of water.
The highlight of the day was the 8 miles riding out to Dauphin Island. We crossed a lot of water and rode over a steep bridge. Once at Dauphin Island, Dana, Felix, and I went slightly off course to check out Pirates Bar and Grill. It was a good choice with great views of the island and the Gulf.
If you don’t know where Dauphin Island is, look at your Google maps or Apple maps. It’s due south of Mobile and out into the Gulf.
View from the bridge over the Pascagoula River. Looking back up the Pascagoula River bridge with Lighthouse Park on the left. Margaret would appreciate this sign. She can’t stand people impeding the left lane. Made it to Alabama!Why did I take a picture of a Waffle House? Because we saw so many of them on the Gulf Coast it was getting funny. Apparently they do well in the South and they also do well near casinos. This is the start of the 8 mile ride to Dauphin Island. We’re going over the bridge to the left. It looks like we’re going off a cliff. View from top looking back from where we came. View looking across the Bay. Can you see land?Boat going under bridge. View looking down toward Dauphin Island. Made it to Dauphin Island. Felix and Dana waiting for me. Found our destination!What a great view from our table!Big Phil’s Bushwacker – ice cream, chocolate, rum, and peanut butter whiskey. YUM!!!View of golf course from the bar. Dana says we could clean and place the ball!View from bar with oil well in distance. Looking back up the island coast. And a Guinness for dessert. Thanks Pirates Bar…
This was such a great destination! Dauphin Island is so interesting and awesome photos of the Gulf. The water tower looked like it was a golf ball sitting on a tee. WOW… that Big Phil’s Bushwacker drink must have been amazing, and the Guinness beer with the water view can’t get much better! 🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️ keep on biking! Wishing you sunny clear skies 😎
Tom's Excellent Adventure
