Arriving in Mobile

Along the way from Auburn to Mobile, we pulled off at a spot that Kelly had recommended: Splinter Hill Bog, about 40 miles north of Mobile, just off I-65.  It is a Nature Conservancy reserve that is known for its pitcher plants.

And they were definitely there!  Thousands of them....Beautiful!

We arrived at Meaher State Park in Spanish Fort, AL  around 3:30 and set up in a site right along the water.  In clear weather we would have a view of the skyline of Mobile, but it is overcast with rain in the forecast for most of the weekend.  Ranger is panting in the heat and humidity but otherwise seems to be happy to be out of a moving vehicle.
