We got up this morning to much cooler temperatures. It stayed cloudy with a brisk wind. We decided to run over to Dauphin Island, Alabama. We had no reason , just looked at the maps and decided to go check it out. One thing for sure is you just don"t happen to get there , you have to want to. It is linked to the mainland by a very long bridge. It turned out to be a nice little place. In the west end there were a lot of houses on the gulf side and the bay side. The island was about 500 yards wide here for a long way. On the east end there is a ferry which crosses Mobile Bay. Kinda pricey as the auto rate was $16.00 a car. There is also historic Fort Gaines which was built about 1821. There are several places to fish and charter boats. We ate at the Sunset Grill & Bar. A very laid back place with maybe the best seafood we have eaten on this trip. All in all we had a pleasant day just wandering around.
