Standing on the Alabama shores of the Fort Morgan historic site<\/strong> is where one can catch the ferry to Dauphin Island on the other side of the bay. On New Year’s Eve 2024 I decided to walk instead of drive onto the ferry to save a little money, as well as get some exercise in while exploring Dauphin…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ferry ride itself took less than half an hour<\/strong>, time spent watching seabirds and oil drilling rig platforms scattered out in the ocean. When I arrived in Dauphin, I see that the town is a few miles from the pier. I spent most of my time here just walking, finding the town square decorated for the Christmas Holidays, eventually finding a bar that was open for brunch. I saddle up to a window table and watch the big college football championship while sipping on a bloody mary and some southern grits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a full belly and a little buzz, I make my way back to the pier to catch the afternoon boat back to Fort Morgan so I can more properly settle in for the last night of 2024…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
