Mobile Bay ferry to Dauphin Island

While touring the gulf coast we came to the end of the road and had to take a ferry across Mobile Bay. I was very surprised at how many oil rigs are located in the bay.  It certainly points out just how much the oil companies take advantage of us when they raise gas prices because they have to shut down a rig or two due to poor weather.  With this many it is very obvious that shutting down a couple would have no effect on the overall production.  While waiting for the ferry we wandered around some old military storage areas located nearby.  I think the structures we saw were part of the old Fort Gaines.
