The Mobile Automobile Club logged the Mobile Pensacola route from Fairhope to Pensacola, a 51 12 mile trip taking about three and a half hours. Field Engineer Harry Locke led the logging, with Col.

The route runs Fairhope to Silver Hill Robertsdale and Nunez Ferry to Pensacola, with a fourteen mile sandy stretch near Robertsdale. Locke praised Fairhope akin to Santa Monica and noted local Satsuma quality and Baldwin developments as promising.
