Still at Gulf Shores, Alabama

The Gulf Shores, Alabama are reminiscent of South Lake and Basin Head if one could imagine South Lake/Basin Head with wall to wall condo and beach house developments. Similar to South Lake are the white pristine sandy beaches. There are few beach goers other than a couple hardy surf fishers and people going for a beach walk.
We had ample opportunity to check out the area and found many fresh seafood shops, restaurants, retail outlets, marinas, and all the other service industries one would expect in such a locale. Fort Morgan at the western end of Hwy 180 is an old civil war establishment in the Fort Morgan State Park situated about 18 miles from our rv park. We drove to the end of Fort Morgan Road and visited Tacky Jacks Restaurant and Marina. A stark contrast to PEI is instead of shoveling snow off driveways, people were shoveling drifting sand! We also took note of the snow fencing enhancement to build up the sand dunes......something to think about for Souris Causeway?
Lamberts Café towards Foley on Hwy 59 north is a must go place. They have wooden bench seats in a rustic setting… and a waiter going around offering hot rolls but you need to catch them as he throws them across the room! Check out "throwedrolls.com" on the internet. Waiters go around offering to ladle out helpings of black eyed beans, fried potatoes and onions, hot baked apple cinnamon, all while you are having your main dish!! Everyone we saw leaving was carrying doggy bags, including ourselves. This is an awesome restaurant concept with the place packed full of patrons all Sunday afternoon!
We are looking forward to spending a week plus a few days at Top Sails State Park in Destin, Florida with Gerry/Sherri. We’ll be heading out in the morning but are hoping to return to Gulf Shores sometime in the future.

Later....
