Relaxing in Mississippi for a few weeks

We arrived at Shepard State park in Gautier Mississippi on Saturday afternoon and will be settling in here for a few weeks. The park is nestled in the bayou on the edge on the mouth of Singing River which empties into the Gulf of Mexico. With only 28 camp sites the park it is not to big and it seems to be fairly quiet here with the exception to the  sounds of the odd train whistle off in the distance.




On Sunday we took a ride in to Biloxi which is about 15 miles from our camp ground. Biloxi of coarse is best known for its casinos and miles of white sand beach along the gulf coast. Well, for you guys that know me you  probably figured out already that we didn't go swimming, no it was off to the Isle Casino for a few games of chance on our favorite slot machines "wheel of fortune" but as luck would have it there sure was no fortune to be had today, so after our small donation it was out of there and back to sight seeing.


On our way back to the camp ground we stopped  in Ocean City at a Flea Market/Craft/Art sale that was going on in their town square. It was a nice end to the day before returning for some steaks on the barbecue.


Well I got to get moving here, feel free to drop by here every once and a while to check on our travels and of coarse above all remember "Keep your stick on the ice" talk to you all later.
