Gulf Shores KOA (Pensacola), Lillian, AL

The Gulf Shores KOA is actually in Alabama just across the bridge from Pensacola. We got in on Sunday and left today. It is a very busy campground and very full. The short term area is very tight and congested. I did not care for it all.

That's us to the right of the black cargo trailer

Beware of the hill going into the campground. It is just steep enough that if you are pulling a trailer or have your extension out (like I did) you are guaranteed to scrape. Going out is not an issue. The exit is on the other side of the campground and is level enough not to scrape. The campground had some pretty nice area's include camping on the beach in tents. Lots of cabins and tree's and a beautiful pool that was used the entire time we were there. Nice clean facilities too.

Monday we drove to Pensacola and picked up our mail from American Home Base. Their main office is in Pensacola. We also went to the motor vehicles branch and took care of insurance updates and addresses.

After that we drove to Perdido Key and into Alabama. It is really different since Katrina. Everything is new and fresh looking and there are many, many vacant lots for sale. There were still a few reminders of Katrina as seen in the picture of all the dead trees but it is still beautiful and definitely coming back.

This afternoon we drove to Hammond, La where we are going into town for some shopping and strawberrys. Hammond is just Northwest of New Orleans.

We'll be in Abilene, TX by Sunday afternoon :)
