Temporary closure to I-95 on April 15 for Savannah River Bridges inspection

Also, the I-95 / I-16 interchange construction will probably mess up traffic flow too.

Then, you'll eventually reach Richmond Hill, GA.

Good Luck!!!
 
Stayed in Mobile at the Malaga. Parking lot adjacent. Seemed safe. Walk to great/Free Marti-Gra Museum. Easy drive to Battleship.

I'm just a bit north of the WPB/Riviera Beach area near Palm Beach Gardens. West of 95 and the turnpike off the Beeline. I'll wave as you go by
 
Be careful where you stop in Riviera Beach, or even WPB. Some sketchy neighborhoods between 95 and the intracoastal

Summit, picked up a SB water pump block off plate, and got a GEN 3 Hemi windage tray I plan to dissect and install into a RB pan. to eliminate the sandwich style tray.
Next, I picked up a stick of CM aero tubing for some behind the grille bracing.
Sightseeing at Ft Pickens Pensacola, saw some multi era war artillery installations.
Saw the docked being prepped soon to be a reef USS United States
Toured the US "Alabama" in Mobile for over 7 hours, very impressive
Dropped off a pair of 18" JBL speakers I sold in Spencer WV.
Stopped at Calico Coatings in Denver NC to pick up my Super finished 3.23 Dana 60 R&P, and dropped off my 4.25'" nitrided crank for polishing.
Picked up 3" OD x .219" tubing for my Dana60 build.

I toured that fort a couple of years ago when I was in P-Cola helping out my BIL.
 
I wish I had more time at the Fort. For those who have never visited, it's a many decade with real life hands on examples of fort building technology and artillery as they evolved and eventually became ineffective and obsolete over time.
