Monday November 5, 2001
Wal-Mart Dothan, Alabama
We spent the day driving our motorhome along
country roads from
Seneca, South Carolina to Dothan, Alabama. The drive through
Georgia
was mostly through hardwood forest and farms. As we enter Alabama
we
began to see cattle and hay operations. The hardwood forest gave way
to pine trees.

Magnolia Beach RV-Park Panama
City Beach, Florida 32408
We drove south on highway 231 from Dothan, Alabama
to Panama City
Beach, Florida. The area around Dothan is peanut country. Joyce
and
I are not able to recognize peanuts in the fields; possibly they have
already been harvested. We do see white cotton fields ready to be
harvested.
At the Florida line we began to see palmetto and wax
myrtle bushes as well
as chinaberry and Cyprus trees. Gone are the
hardwood forest we traveled through
yesterday in South Carolina and
Georgia. Pine trees are predominant now.
Magnolia
Beach Campground on Panama City Beach is appropriately named.
This particular
area is covered with Magnolia trees. The campground
is located on the St.
Andrews Bay and has a boat ramp and dock on the
premises. During the summer
they cater to boaters and campers with
jet skis. During the winter they fill
up with snowbirds. It is early
November and they are filling up with the early
snowbirds.
Mike's parents live in Panama City and we are stopping by to
visit
with them before heading the last 100 miles to our home in Pensacola.

Home; Pensacola, Florida
It is only a hundred miles from Panama City,
Florida to Pensacola,
Florida and we make the final leg of our journey with
no problem. It
is great to be back home.
Until next time, have a good
one. And remember, "It doesn't get any
better".
We are home.
This is the last travelogue until we head out again.
We hope that you have
enjoyed this trip as much as we have.
