As I mentioned in a previous post, Ron & Jim brought the boat from Mobile to Orange Beach, while Amy and I spent the night in a hotel and took a sight-seeing trip on our way back to meet the guys at the marina in Orange Beach.
We took the lower route back to Orange Beach, which required that we ride the car ferry across from Dauphin Island to Fort Morgan.

| Mobile Bay has many of these platforms which are owned by Exxon Mobile. They are located in 11 feet of water but drill over 20,000 feet to extract natural gas. |

| Many waterfalls and fountains throughout the gardens, sourced by Artesian wells throughout the property |

| Located on the Fowl River, it's a perfect setting |
