Friday, November 19 Made the trip to Florida today leaving Waveland and Bay St Louis down Hwy 90 crossing a huge bridge ove Bay St Louis continuing to Gulfport and Biloxi where the 4 lane divided highway was right beside a newly restored beach front. Beautiful but no dogs allowed on the beach so we couldn't walk. Stayed on Hwy 90 almost to Mobile Alabama (where we took the tunnel under the city) then I10 to Pensacola south the the National Park ($10) on the island. TomTom really got us lost on this one. Went to the bridge on the farthest eastern end of the island and traveled all the way back to the west end past where the toll bridge comes over from Pensacola. About 60 miles out of the way. (Do we have enough gas to get out of here?)Was a really unique road with water on both sides of the road some areas were wide enough for a house on each side some parts were to narrow. Really really white sand, looked like snow. Mostly beach homes but some high rise condos too. So tired when we got here. We just parked and set up. Saw an armidillo up close and personal.
Saturday, November 20 Explored our new campground. Found some nature trails and the wonderful pure white sand beach. Most beautiful beach I've ever seen. Walked the beach, gave dogs baths, Danny changed a tire that was showing some major wear. Decided to stay another day. So warm and sunny. Couldn't ask for more
Sunday November 21 Made a trip to town for supplies at Walmart and gas for the truck, Nice clean beach town with lots of shops and restaurants. Danny washed the truck and camper, put out the carpet and chairs for a relaxing day. Walked the beach some more and checked out The real Fort Pickens. An old fort created in the 1800's by slave labor and some of it still standing today. Met some folks from Kentucky, The campground filled up lots of large motor homes, trailers with bikes. Made us wish for our bike. Danny's thinking small motorhome maybe so he can pull trailer with bike :)
