Florida to Alabama, November 9, 2012

Navarre Beach, near Pensacola

The beach is on the Santa Rosa Sound


Damage caused by hurricane

Notice all the boards that have been replaced after hurricane damage

On to Pensacola Beach

In hurricane country?

Built to take on any storm...

This is a barrier island, a tiny strip of land off the mainland

The emerald waters that Florida is known for

This area is typical for flooding...we find out later

Miles of beach, no one around

Except for the wildlife


Ft. Pickens, built in 1829




From out of nowhere, we're hit by a storm


The road was closed after the ocean and sand covered the road


As soon as that road opened up, we were out of there!

  1. You are closing the circle now as you round the corner of the USA on your way back to Southern California. It sure has been a beautiful ride and I have enjoyed your pictures very much. These wild and sugar sand beaches of the Gulf Shores National Seashore are no exception.
