Day Thirty-Three - Sweet Home Alabama

After a wonderful breakfast at the Hunters, we rode out on the beach road following the coast line into Alabama. Eventually our 73 mile route took us over a dramatic causeway bridge to Dauphin Island. We stopped at the only grocery store on the island to pick up food for dinner. A kind gentleman, fellow shopper asked us about out trip. When he learned that we were staying at the campground tonight, he offered to take our groceries to our campsite. As we had room on our bikes, we thanked him, but did not take him up on his offer and rode on to the campground. Once here, we were surprised when the same man pulled up in his pick up truck and offered to take us out on his boat. We accepted and John treated us to a wonderful hour long tour of the island by boat. The padded seats and ocean breezes were heavenly! We are so enjoying southern hospitality!

INCREDIBLE NEWSFLASH.....we have reached our goal for Destiny Rescue!! Thanks so much to all who have given so generously!! We are excited to see how much more will be added to the $10,000, we are in AWE!!

  1. Congrats on making your donation goal! As Dory from finding nemo would say "Remember... just keep peddling" (: you are an inspiration for us all and a reminder to never forget the social injustices that occur in this world. God has the power to change it all through people like you!

  2. Congratulations on reaching and exceeding your goal!!!

    PS Since I know you're a stickler for accuracy, I believe it's "Dauphin Island" (and "our trip")
