Below is one of the many such church signs that we pass daily.  This one was seen on the way from Pascagoula MS to Dauphin Island, AL, a trip of about 43 miles.  We had delayed our start time until 8:00 AM due to predictions of all night rain and wind, but woke instead to gray, looming clouds and dry pavement.  We were all generally hot footing it to Dauphin Island and were in by noon, in time to all eat together at a great shrimp restaurant.  We rode through Forrest Gump territory fo sure today.  The route into Dauphin Island included crossing a 3.5 mile causeway and bridge, attracting ( as seems to be our lot...) a good stiff head wind.  Our tour is permanently putting to rest the theory that the prevailing winds blow from west to east and that this is the reason to ride that direction when biking cross country.  Most if not all of the cross country riders that we meet going the opposite direction are sailing along aided by a good stiff tail wind when we pass them.
