not good news to report today. I left pensacola FL this morning bound for Miami. Fate had another plan in store...5 or six miles east on I-10 traffic stopped cold. Uuugh...i hate that.

... was nothing I had not seen before, but, if you ever travel through Mobile, you should stop to see the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park. I ended up in Pensacola, Florida where I will stay the night and go on to Orlando to visit friends and one of my brothers that lives nearby.
