New Orleans to Mobile AL
The importance of this trip will become more obvious as you explore the map and route. Getting to New Orleans was the most critical and hopefully the most difficult part of this trip. But getting to Mobile will be very challenging. The other important aspect of this trip is the fact that Mobile will be the official starting point of the loop.
It is hard to express my experiences over the last few weeks. The difficult route to New Orleans was intensely satisfying and the time I was able to spend with my mother was exceptional. The healing this trip has provided along with the support from all of you has been heartwarming. I can not adequately express my gratitude.
This next week should be fun. I have a goal to get through to the east ICW before May 1 because a major bridge will be closed on May 1 blocking my access to the east coast for 21 days. This is a very possible goal. I also want to spend a day or two with Mittie’s parents in Clewiston FL, which is along the route. I will keep you all updated.
