Alabama to Mississippi by Ferry | Gulf Coast Van Life

Описание: We woke up to heavy fog at Fort Morgan — but just as we headed for the ferry, the sky began to clear.

We're JK and Kim, 60-plus van travelers. In this episode, we leave Fort Morgan RV Park in our Ford Transit camper van and ride the Dauphin Island ferry across Mobile Bay before continuing west along the Gulf Coast into Mississippi.

Stops include:
• The historic grounds of Fort Gaines
• Dauphin Island beaches and coastal homes
• The Alabama Coastal Connection Bridge over the Mississippi Sound
• Bayou La Batre and Grand Bay
• Pascagoula, Mississippi — including the boyhood home of music legend Jimmy Buffett
• A local donut shop lunch stop for pastry-wrapped sausage
• The historic Round Island Lighthouse
• Davis Bayou in the Gulf Islands National Seashore.

This episode is all about following the Gulf Coast — by ferry, by bridge, and by backroad — traveling slowly in our 60s and 70s.
