Day 163
​Pass Christian MS- Molino FL

Last night is going to go down as one of the best Wal-Mart nights that we have had. Even though it was 24 hours, noise was minimal throughout the night. A welcome cold front came through and kept us comfortable with the windows closed tight. Morning broke and it was back to the road as we cruise east on the gulf coast. Mississippi keeps staying pretty, then Alabama comes into view. We only get an hour or so of this southern state and stop to dump our tanks at a rest area. Climbing back into the captain's chair finally brings us into Florida. On the outskirts of Pensacola we turn left and head north about 15 miles to our next camping destination. The pavement ends and turns into sand. It's mostly hard-packed but has one stretch of water logged soft squishy stuff. Penny's gear lever gets dropped into 1st. When in doubt, throttle out.

We make it through without any drama and find our new spot for the next couple of days. It's a lovely little campsite courtesy of the North West Florida Water Management District. Kind of like DNR of the north or BLM of the west. Anyway you describe it still doesn't change a darn thing. It's a free place to park.

This is what we look like when we find free camping
Eli is more than happy to guide us on an exploration of our new home. A small trail off of the road leads about 50 yards into the woods. Looks like a little shooting range where the locals don't care about their stuff. It's a disgrace to see free public land get turned into a garbage dump.

It's been 6 days since we last had a chance to make ourselves comfortable. Both of us are looking forward to a good nights sleep and a chance to settle in to our new home. Tomorrow is what I am really looking forward too. An entire day to just stay home and putz around. Could be worse.
