March 17th – Drove to Mobile AL

We headed out of Abbeville at 8:30 am, temperature 11C.  As we drove, we noticed there were no longer palm trees.  Nothing but swamp.  At Lake Bigeaux we started on a bridge/raised highway that travelled through the swamp for 12 miles before we were back to normal roads again!

 Miles and miles of swamp.

The roads are so much better here than in Mexico, that Bev is willing to do her share of driving once again.  Today was one of those days where we drove through 3 states: Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

Thankfully it was not as long a drive as the one on March 14th so we stopped in at the Welcome Centre at the Alabama State line to pick up maps & brochures regarding sites to see in the Mobile area.  We were settled in our spot at Lazy Acres in Elberta AL by 4 pm.
