Daulphin Island, AL to Milton, FL - Easter Day, April 20



This was a challenging day with a 85 mile ride. Our route started with a one hour ferry ride at 8:00, so we didn't start the ride until 9:00. 

The day began with a a beautiful sunny morning.  However by noon, a cold front moved in and we had cooler temps and a strong north east head wind.  Everyone agreed that it was one of our more difficult days. 

To celebrate Easter, the Wolf Pack had placed inflatable bunnies and chocolate eggs by our tents. Unfortunately, the raccoons discovered the chocolate eggs before we did!  My bunny was my traveling companion for the rest of day.


The ferry ride was quite interesting and afforded views of the many oil rigs close to shore. 




Our route took us through Pensacola, past many of the old bay side homes. We originally had planned to eat at "Nicks Boathouse", but found it very crowded due to Easter.  We ended up eating at an open air food court down the road.  Food was served from 4 kitchens housed in Airstream trailers, each with a different food venue.  We all thoroughly  enjoyed the stop, and it got us back to the ride fairly quickly.
