Gulf Islands National Seashore

April 20, 2014:  We arrived at the Fort Pickens Campground this afternoon.  After setting up we had time for a bicycle ride out to the end of the island where the fort is located.  We are looking forward to exploring the island history and walking on the beaches.  Currently, sea turtles are nesting on the shore.  We had a visitor to our campsite shortly after arriving.  He was quite busy digging holes here and there.  

It has been such a blessing to meet other campers.  Today we met Martin and Karin who are traveling in their motorhome they brought over from their homeland, Germany.  A few we have met are Paul and Jan from Florida, Bob and Jan from Knoxville, Gary and Sheryl from Michigan, and many others.

We are also thankful today for the Lutheran Hour Ministries.  We were able to listen to an Easter service via that website today.  We celebrate today and every day that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has risen! 

More pictures to come, but here is our little visitor.
