Panama City to Gulf Shores

Panama City has some cool attractions, but it looked to me like it was mainly a big party town so I decided to mosey on down the road and work my way further west along the pan handle. Panama City has a cool looking Ripley’s Believe it Or Not location which looks like a boat. That night made it to Gulf Shores, Alabama. This area is under lots and lots of development. It was Super Bowl Sunday and it was about 4:30 with the game starting at 5:00. I stopped at Gulf Shores State Park paid my $22 and asked for directions to a bar to watch the Super Bowl. Again the camp sites are plenty expensive for essentially truck parking, but I paid it.

Went to a bar called Mud Bugs as the sign said they had free food during the Super Bowl. I had checked out another bar, but the smoke was extremely bad. At Mud Bugs the smoke was bad too. This was a pretty raucous crowd. About ½ the bar was for Chicago and the other ½ for Indy. Another guy who is camping in the same area as I, sat down near me. When the Bears were up 14 to 9 I offered to bet him that Indy would win. It was nice to have some income for a change :) .
