Great view

I had to travel to Mississippi with one of the lawyers from the firm I work at today, noticed what a sight the USS Alabama battleship is as we were heading back to Florida around dusk, the Drum was a great view also with the MS-32 paint job she is sporting, wish I could have stopped on the bay bridge and snapped some photos or better yet stopped in for a quick visit(would have if I was alone) but it was late and had to get home.

I see where the old USS Drum has been getting some upgrades to her superstructure and is looking very good these days. Any new Pix Anyone?

Wow, you had to drive all that way with a lawyer in the car with you?

That, had to be one bummer of a trip.

I salute you for persevering through the ordeal.

Just buy one of those disposable camera's 800 ISO for outside pictures, I'd go with 400 on interiors. 45 millimeter film is still higher quality than the digitals.

A great place to visit. We stopped there for an afternoon while on vacation some years back. I filmed the entire tour of the Drum.

I need to find that tape and watch it again- a fun afternoon it was!
