Got to drive the great state of Alabama today... really not that exciting. I think I liked West Virginia more. Gulf Islands National Seashore is the next and last park on the list for this productive trip. Should be pretty neat as it rests on the outer banks of the Florida panhandle.

The rain that's forecast for the next couple of days will not be nice. Part of my job is collecting pavement surface data on the roads in National Parks. We use cameras that record images of the pavement as we drive. Those images are then put into software to detect the cracking. When the road is wet however, cracks are either worse than reality or they are not detected at all. So I've learned to be a amateur meteorologist in this job as well.

Tomorrow it's probably off to the Naval Air Museum, heard it's supposed to be neat. It's nice to have days off on the road, but sucks that they only happen when it's raining out. No pics taken today, but hopefully tomorrow I can add some.
