I love Alabama on the beach. I’ve been down there so many times and I love it. But always in a hotel . But when I get my RV, that is were I would love to go. I like being away from people , but love to set as close to the ocean as I can get. It just gives me so much peace. Enjoy it is so calming.

Welcome to the South, Carolyn. I hope you have found the people to be as friendly as i always have! Great boondocking site you found near Fort Morgan -- the Gulf coast is all so beautiful. Of course you'll have to go much farther south down Florida's coast if you want warm winter weather!

It's nice to be able to stay by the beach at times. I stayed in Biloxi MS when working my way back from the east coast. Free campsites. But....little did I know, it was also a homeless encampment! I still stayed 2 quiet, peaceful nights there before moving on. It was beautiful! Stunning sunsets.

Yeah, clay roads are a definite no when it’s been raining. I have slipped and slid and gotten stuck and had to call a tow truck twice on my own driveway. lol. The way people are flocking to the south, that beautiful spot will be eaten up with construction soon. I’m glad you got to enjoy it before it’s gone. Merry Christmas!

Merry Merry, I grew up around there and there was a road we called Cat Mans road. the big kids would take us down in a jeep and tell us they were going to leave us there…it’s such a funny memory. We had great childhoods there. Also mobile, pronounced mo bill. It’s very interesting city, a lot of history. Use to be the New York of the south. A very bustling port city. Check out Fairhope if you have time, on Mobile Bay. If you are going east, check out 30A… beautiful beaches at Topsail or Grayton Beach. ENJOY! When I am on the road I feel totally free and love it…it’s magic.

Carolyn, you drove on Fort Morgan Road, near Gulf Shores! Welcome !! The last major hurricane here was in 2019 it was Hurricane Sally.. You were correct - much new building taking place since Sally and even now. We retired here and love the area. We left Chattanooga TN and moved to this jewel of a beautiful place to live. Such good people here too. Did you get to see the beautiful sugar white sand beaches in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach while you were here? Next time let us know you will be here. Happy Travels Carolyn!

Your video reminded me of when my husband and I went to Rutherford Beach in Louisiana..If you haven't been there, it's worth a stay. We boondocked right on the beach for a couple of weeks. There are no services, but the view of the gulf is beautiful! The free beach is about a mile long, and you can distance yourself from others, just stay on the hard pack, and you are set!

You need to shows us the area where they are rebuilding now please. The people of that town is very humble and very friendly. My fiancée went there and he was sad to see the devastation and felt in love with the people. You need to cross the bridge. Happy new year and many blessings to you and Sadie.

Hi Carolyn, I work at the I-10 rest area in Slidell, la. I believe that you'd be coming through on your way back west from Alabama. I'm not sure where you are right now as I know that your videos are posted AFTER you move on from an area. (For safety and privacy, of course) BUT, if you are cruising through Louisiana on I-10 coming from Mississippi, stop off and see me. That goes for your followers. Stop by and I'll hook you up with whatever freebies that we have for you! Btw, if you want to camp close to swamps and be 30 minutes to new Orleans, contact me for a spot on my family's property. I'd be happy to provide a safe convenient place to camp on your journey.
