March 2009 Update
April and I left Lake Pines at the end of the year and went to Lake Seminole for a week. We had a great site and just relaxed. That is one of the benefits of retirement. Here is a picture of our site at sunset.

After a very relaxing week we left for the Pensacola area and landed at Palm Lake RV Resort in Foley, Alabama. Here are couple of views from inside the resort.


And here is the view of our site:

I took the photo of our site (above) from a spot under these palms which is our view. There is a birdhouse behind the palm trees.

And we have a view of a birdhouse.

Here we see a big moon behind the palms.

Here are some relaxed and retired RV'ers.

From Palm Lake we took a couple of day trips. First we see the two of us at Meaher State Park on Mobile bay.

Then we went to Fort Blakeley State Park. The last major battle of the Civil War was fought here.

This was very interesting. Lots to see. Here is a very old cemetary.

Next to this we saw a grave marker for eight different people. Two listed on each side.

Here is a map of the battleground.

Here is a photo of site #3 from the map above. Three people earned the Medal of Honor for actions at this site.

Then we went south of Mobile, Alabama to Ft. Gaines on Dauphin Island. Here is an aerial view.

Here is the front entrance.

Inside on the grounds of Ft. Gaines.

A view from inside a gun turret.

A view from atop the forts wall.

At a gun.
