It was a windy night and a bit of rain, but nothing serious.  It’s still windy this morning so we decided to stay put for one more day.  After a while the clouds went away and the sun came out.  There … Continue reading →

Ugh… 83 degrees and windy, I think a storm is brewing.  It may be a bumpy night. Old Court House (1858-1860) We hung around the RV park today and visited with some of our fellow RVers.  Then we decided to … Continue reading →

Natchez Trace Parkway again We left Natchez and started driving up the Natchez Trace Parkway.  There was about 50 miles of it that we had not completed last month.  We won’t take it all the way north this time as it will take … Continue reading →

 Pretty Flowers  Camellia Tiffany  Pig Out Inn BBQ where we ate lunch today.   Kinda small for a duplex in my opinion. Art House?  There was no sign of it being a shop.   Natchez Under The … Continue reading →

http://www.gopetfriendly.com/  This morning we noticed an RV parked near us that had decals and advertising all over it.  It had a web address http://www.gopetfriendly.com/ on it.  So I looked into it.  They are a couple and their two dogs who … Continue reading →

We are going to start gradually moving north now, hopefully get to Minnesota by the first of April.  Today we only went 30 miles, staying in Hammond, Louisiana, for the night. For lunch we found a family restaurant in town.  … Continue reading →

Remains of an old sugar mill. We left the casino RV park and went west to Fontainebleau State Park on the north shore of Lake Ponchartrain in Louisiana. It is a pretty park, large well groomed day use areas, sandy … Continue reading →

Another beautiful day for a parade.  There was a parade in Slidell, Louisiana, that we heard was supposed to be a good one, so we drove into Louisiana to see it.  We were there about three hours before the parade … Continue reading →

Big dog ready to party! It’s Mardi Gras season and the parades have begun.  New Orleans has several parades, but so do the smaller towns all around there.  We wanted to go see one in New Orleans but decided against … Continue reading →

Nothing much to blog about the last few days.  We’ve just been hanging out in the RV, walking around the park or venturing into the casino, and just watching other RV’s come and go which they do here all day … Continue reading →

We have moved inland a few miles.  Once it warmed up where we were the little black flies came out and started biting us, so forget that.  We are now staying at the Hollywood Casino RV Park in Bay St … Continue reading →

 Mississippi’s idea of a 4-way stop?  It’s so great to have all that nasty weather behind us.  It was a beautiful sunshiny 70 degree day today.  We drove around the area looking at a few other RV parks … Continue reading →

 What’s Left of the Water Slide We were ready for a change of scenery so we moved almost two hours west to Buccaneer State Park at Waveland, Mississippi.  It is also right on the shore of the Gulf of … Continue reading →

It was such a nice day today we went out to a nice seafood restaurant for lunch.  I had flounder… excellent fish…mmmm, and yes, expensive.  Then we drove around the park some more and back into town and the beach.  … Continue reading →

We decided to stay two more nights here at Gulf Island National Seashore since we like it and the weather is just beginning to warm up again.  There are some nature trails around the park, so we went for a … Continue reading →

 oops!  The first thing I do in the morning is to check the temperatures where my family lives.  I had a good laugh, this has to be a big mistake, there is no way it was 122F in … Continue reading →

The rain has stopped, the sky cleared, and the sun came out.  It’s still cold, and supposed to be a hard freeze tonight.  It’s strange hearing them say things on the radio like don’t go out, keep your pets inside, … Continue reading →

Gulf Island National Seashore National Park The last few days have been cold and quiet.  We’re just killing time, waiting for the weather to warm up.  Yesterday we never left the campground.  We did find a little nature trail and … Continue reading →

Today we decided to drive around to see what we could see.  We found ourselves on the Gulf Coast Scenic Drive along the Gulf of Mexico.  This area, the southern coast of Mississippi, was hit hard by hurricane Katrina, and … Continue reading →

The weather has improved for now but there’s another storm system on the way in the next few days.  We left the Vicksburg area and drove south to Big Biloxi Recreation Area in the De Soto National Forest in southern … Continue reading →
