HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
We are spending a few days at a beautiful state park on the Gulf of Mexico near Gulf Shores, Alabama. This area was hit by a major hurricane the year before Katrina hit the New Orleans area and the Mississippi coast. Consequently, this state park was badly damage and has since been rebuilt.
Among the huge problems in this whole region is the loss of tree cover. When we were here a few years ago the whole campground was covered with beautiful trees, now largely gone. We read an article in the local newspaper indicating that the loss of trees was a huge economic and environmental problem, and of course, it will take many years for the trees to grow back.
The beach along the gulf is gorgeous, and has largely recovered. We have really enjoyed watching magnificent sunsets over the Gulf for several evenings. It is hard to leave, but tomorrow we'll be heading to Florida where we'll spend a week or so at several beautiful state parks, all visited in previous years.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
