Descriptions of the construction progress of my new Florida model railroad featuring the line from Lakeland to Punta Gorda. Originally a journal of RV trips throughout the United States and Canada with Patti and Bob. Also photo documentation of the progress on my Maryland model railroad, the Allegheny and Shenandoah, a mythical class one line connecting Strasburg VA. with Elkins WV.

Mobile Alabama
Our visit to Mobile consisted of an afternoon out by the home of the battleship Alabama and a trip downtown where the cruise ships are only a block away from the old town portion of the city. The next day we drove south to Dauphin Island at the mouth of Mobile Bay. The jusaposition of an 1804 french fort and the 21st century oil rig at the lower right of the photo is striking. I had no idea the oil rigs were so close to shore, and there are so many! 25 are visable from various points of view from the island.
