As I said before - I had my camera in the trunk of the car on the trip TO Louisiana, and I missed a lot of good photo opportunities. Thought I would get the same on the way home , but for some reason I didn't find as many as I'd hoped. And when I did - the camera I have left a lot to be desired.
First landmark - leaving Louisiana and entering Mississippi
These are a couple of pictures of the Pascagoula River . This river is located in southeastern Mississippi and is about 80 miles long. These pictures were taken in the area they call a "rich network of channels an bayous" - where it empties into the Gulf of Mexico. I read that it was #9 on the Most Endangered River List - but that was in 2009,
This first picture as we crossed the river shows a nice rain shower in the distance - some threatening clouds.
That is NOT a water spout in the middle of the picture.... just the reflection from the window.
Leaving Mississippi - we are now in Alabama.
Always like to catch the skyline..........And here we are entering Mobile - near the Bay.
Along the bay area here you can see Battlefield Park.... but before you get there you have to pass through the George Wallace Tunnel - which goes under the Mobile River, connecting downtown Mobile with Blakeley Island and the elevated portions of I-10 that cross Mobile Bay.

As you pass along the elevated portions of I-10 across the Bay you get a glimpse of Battleship Park and the might USS Alabama Battleship. which had over 3 years of active duty during World War II. The ship was returned to Alabama in the 60's and in 1969 opened to the public.
And then we were back in Florida heading for 75 South and home....
Looks like you had tons of fun! I am in the middle of a blogfest myself so had to skim for now but will read all the details tomorrow. Miss you all!
