Point of Entry – I-59 near Livingston
My first time in Alabama was a trip through the middle of Alabama. Most of my memories there, though, are from trips to the Orange Beach area.
We had a couple of different training retreats for work in that area. The church rented a neighboring beach houses in the off season so we flew into Pensacola and drove over.
That’s where I got to drive Linda Costello’s Porsche. More importantly, I was able to establish and build relationships with people who became important connections for me.
We also visited this area when visiting friends (Peavys, Carnahans) in the Pensacola area. On all our Gulf Coast trips we went up to Foley to have rolls “throwed” at us for dinner.
The church doesn’t rent the beach houses any more. (I don’t know if they survived the hurricanes that hit them directly.) The friends who lived there have moved on in life.
With all the reasons I went to Alabama having moved on, Alabama may only be visited by me in memories from this point forward.
