By the way, riding in rain is nothing compared to riding in humidity. The rain is pleasant, as long as I know my stuff will be dry.
Also, I seemed to have picked up a tickle in my throat since staying at the Chocktaw Motel. I’m not saying it was due to the motel, just that it was that time frame. It could be allergy to the local grass, or irritation from cigarette smoke, or the local paper mill. Or it could be a cold. In any case, it was mild. Somehow, the rain seemed to help clear it up.
Tomorrow, I plan to take the Ferry from Dauphin Island to Fort Morgan, then ride all the way to Pensacola, Florida. It’s about 60 miles, but Pensacola is the place with cheap motels. I can tell, when the reviews have the keywords, crack, roach, bedbug, prostitute, smell.
Miles today: 41.2

That big bridge before Dauphin island looks high. Was it a bit scary riding over it? We (meaning Kendra, her friend Esther and me) are going to help with the Aina Haina Baptist Church Shave Ice Ministry this Friday for a couple of hours. We will be at Palolo Park.
Did you ask anyone about the birds? It does seem unusual to see so many dead ones.
Hi, sweetheart! Take pictures. As I type this, most likely you are asleep, as I’m up relatively early. There’s a bakery about 5 miles from me, sort of on the way to the Ferry, and I’ve heard that the lines are long unless you show up early.
I don’t know who I’d ask about the birds. It’s not something I’ve seen so far, so must be uncommon. Also, it’s the kind of thing a motorist would not notice at highway speeds – a bird every 100 yards or so on the side of the road.
Tall bridges are always a little scary for me – this one was meant to pass an ocean liner, it seems (they build ships in the area). But the shoulder was wide, and the barrier wall on the side was tall enough to allay my fears.
It’s now 3 years after the tour, and I finally figured out what the artwork says. “THE GREATEST GLOrY IN LiViNG LiES NOT IN NEVER FAiLiNG BUT iN RiSiNG EVErY timE”
