From Janie:
Saturday, November 3. From Mobile, Alabama to Destin, Florida. Via Milton, Florida.
I rode about 36 miles in a little under 3 hours. Great riding early in the morning, through Mobile, over the bridge, down a long causeway. Just lovely. Jody ended up riding a century. Go, Jody!
Here's our day, mostly in photos.
Over two months into the ride, still happy to be together.

Dang! We were here on a Friday!
Cotton. We saw it everywhere in the South.
Trees along the edge of another cotton field.
Roadkill. Looks different in every state.
We've seen a lot of roadkill in the time we've been on the road. Everything from tarantulas to armadillo. One more bizarre than the next.
The
national dish of Scotland is something called haggis, the specific ingredients
of which I won't go into other than to say that if you can visualize boiled,
inside-out road kill, you're pretty close.
