Wednesday, April 23, 2014:
It was another warm day with that cool breeze off of the Gulf of Mexico. We started our day with a pancake breakfast and an exploration of the area around the campground on our bikes where we spotted our first snake sunning itself on the trail....guess we were too scared to remember to take a picture.....and it wasn't anxious to move off the trail. After returning, it was grooming day for Skipper. Then, after lunch, we biked to the museum on the island to learn about its inhabitants and a bit more history. We also stopped on the pier to watch the fishermen. One man caught a large red snapper. It was a beautiful fish and not in season so he returned it to the water where it struggled before finally swimming away.....getting cheers from all the onlookers. We ended our day with a sunset hike on the white sand beach, which, we discovered, is 90% quartz.
Thursday, April 24, 2014: This was our last full day at this location. After doing the laundry, visiting with some campers who were interested in our motorhome, and lunch, we hiked on the beach. We have enjoyed our stay here. Amongst the many species of birds that amazed us were the nesting ospreys and the pelicans swooping over us on the beach. Tomorrow we leave for Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
