We are still at Gulf State Park enjoying some rest and preparation for our next NOMADS project. The trails here are wonderful for hiking and biking and even with the cooler than usual weather we have used them a lot. We also sometimes just walk around the campground meeting people – talking about birds, travel, RVs and our volunteer mission work.
Gulf State Park provides many educational programs, such as this one about dolphins.
Of course, one of our favorite things about the park is the abundance of wildlife – such as this alligator eating a duck …
… and this nesting pair of bald eagles that we see every year …
… and this curious armadillo that, on one of our hikes, walked onto the pavement, sniffed at Max’s shoe, then wandered off the other side of the trail.
Max’s birthday lunch was our usual order from Blalock Seafood – “a pound of royal red shrimp, peeled and deveined, steamed, mild, and left hot.”
We finally got a chance to try out Anne’s new smokeless fire pit by making a few s’mores.
Hello you two! Have you biked with Spokes? Andy and Ann Marie Branigan run the group I think. We know them and we know Doug and Linda Strahm. Both couples are Tiffinites. The Strahms are Sowers. Great couples! They may have moved on by now. Teresa
