Day 45, April 19: Pascagoula, MA to Dauphin Island, AL

0 of 42 miles—SAG driver

This was a rolling rest day heading into a rest day and, by far, the easiest day of my SAG driving career. A large weather system has threatened the region. Once again, we beat the odds and didn’t get a drop of rain. The trip leaders have dubbed this year’s ST ride as the “windy one”. I believe we would all affirm the correctness of that evaluation.

In yet another slow news day, crossing a state line might be the big event of the day.


Most riders stopped at Barnacle Bill’s for lunch, located on the island side of a long and high bridge connecting the mainland to Dauphin Island. We were in our Gulf-frontage condos by early afternoon just as the thick cloud cover began to clear. It will be a great spot for the rest day tomorrow.

It’s margarita night, prepared by trip leader Carol, due to the state line crossing.


Chef Linda prepared a tasty jambalaya.


Lois, sous chef and rider, sported yet another gorgeous necklace found by Ann on the highway shoulder.

Carol, Nice Journal...I have had a chance to read thru most of it. I remember many of the things you mention!
Reading your journal, I was surpised to find you are 60. When we were riding into Navasota, I thought you were mid-40's.
