Gulf State Park, Gulf Shores, AL

We got up even earlier today so we could get ahead of the rainy forecast.  They were calling for 2+ inches of rain in Mandeville and more on Sunday, so we decided to leave there and travel to Gulf Shores, AL.  Fontainebleau SP campground has a lot of trees and yesterday afternoon we had some strong winds.  The trees were swaying in the wind and I didn't feel comfortable being parked under them if the wind was going to be stronger today.


The campground at Gulf State Park doesn't have any trees to speak of and we decided to head there a day early.  It was a windy ride here and the closer we go the windier it was.  Hot and humid to say the least.  We are setup in the park now and enjoying the a/c in the mh.  Later this evening we will go to one of the great seafood restaurants around here and have some Grouper fish.  Yumm!


The weather forecast for here is calling for almost 3.5 inches of rain this afternoon and evening.  That is about a years supply for Tucson, AZ.  


The rains came about the time to go out for dinner and we decided to just fix something in the motorhome and not fight the crowds and rain.  It does look like rain squalls will be passing through the area all night and hopefully they won't be that heavy.
