Friday, September 21st - Heading to Destin, Florida!

We left our very nice Bayou Segnette State Park campsite around 10:30 and drove 200 miles to Summerdale, Alabama, about 100 miles from Destin, Florida, our destination tomorrow.

We stopped for lunch at Cracker Barrel in Slidell and for fuel in Gulfport, Mississippi. We had about 60 gallons on board but, with the tropical depression lurking off the northern Gulf Coast, I wanted to have PLENTY of fuel if we need to evacuate or run the generator for long periods.

Had an interesting, thankfully not harmful, experience as we crossed the Huey P. Long bridge just west of New Orleans. The very steep up ramp proved to be VERY narrow as well - 9 feet wide. Well, this coach is 8.5 feet wide as we roll down the road. Scarily, I hit the right hand curb with our passenger side tires, making a screeching noise. To correct, I had to fudge over into the passing lane. Fortunately, there was no damage to the tires.
