We spent Saturday night at a nice park (Sherling Lake) between Montgomery and Mobile, AL. This was not the area that was affected by the recent tornado that went through Tuscaloosa; however, it WAS hit by the tornado about two weeks before that. Many trees were down and they have a massive clean-up ahead, but the camping area was spared. The managers were extremely friendly and apologetic about the limited access to walking paths and so forth. All in all, it was a good place for an overall stop.
We've traveled on to the Mississippi gulf coast and will be staying at Buccaneer State Park (Waveland) for the next few days. The entire park was destroyed by Katrina----remember Katrina, before the tornados and the earthquakes and the tsunami? So the one camping loop that is open for business is all brand new. Today we'll start exploring the area.
Being in Mississippi in May, we had the "opportunity" to test out our air-conditioning last night. What a relief!
