Red Bay to Gulf Shores

Red Bay to Gulf Shores is 400 miles we slept one night on our way down. We were happy to leave Red Bay as the temperature stayed in the freezing range. For the very first time Zephyr was in perfect operating condition and we are now enjoying this unit very much.

On our way down we stopped at Birmingham (Costco) to pick up groceries and then on down to Montgomery to our final destination Terra bella RV resort in southern Alabama. This is on the Gulf Cost near Pensacola and East of New Orleans.

Temperature much warmer this is a tourist area with the finest white sand beach we have ever seen. Very nice area indeed.

Trip Back from Montreal to Red Bay

Christmas is over great time with kids and family and now heading back to Red Bay Alabama to pick up Zephyr and continue our southern trip.

We left Montreal on a beautiful sunny Saturday morning about -10 with Silver. We crossed the border Thousand Islands and when we reached Buffalo late afternoon we picked up 7-8 inches of snow and Silver made me very proud in the treacherous roadway.

Slept in Cleveland then continued our 1,230 mile trip through Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville and finaly to Red Bay Alabama.

Alabama Southern Hospitality




On Saturday night we went to a restaurant and while waiting for our table at the bar we met Dennis & Maureen Steel from Russellville that invited us to join them. One thing lead to another and the following day we were invited to afternoon tea ?? (see picture) at Yvonne's residence where we also met Ausie, Yvonne and Edwardo (not on picture). They are all doctors in Russellville and were most generous and friendly. We thanks them from such nice hospitality and the great treat.
