On Friday we drove west from Gulf Shores along the peninsula to Fort Morgan. We set off to find a shipwreck but found a fatal wreck on the road along our way.
Halfway there we saw 15+ police plus a fire truck and an ambulance just arriving when we got there.
We later found out that a snowbird couple was bicycling on the side of the road and got hit.
A helicopter was sent to take them to a hospital in Pensacola, FL.
The lady did not live and the man is still hospitalized.
Okay, enough of the sad part:-(
One reason we went out there was to film a "count down" for our church in Alabama.

The main reason we went was to go treasure hunting for a mysterious shipwreck.
The wind and waves have revealed a "new" shipwreck over 150 years old.
Most likely the sand will soon cover it again.
This recent article identifies the shipwreck as a Civil War Confederate Schooner from 1861.
