East to Mississippi and Alabama


2 – 4 Dec – Back over the Mississippi

We travel back along the I10 back over the Mississippi and into the state of Mississippi.  We stayed at Davis Bayou State Park in Ocean Springs again.  We stayed here six weeks ago for a night and liked it enough to come back again for two nights.  The birds that we heard and saw in October are not so numerous – I guess they were migrating their way south and have carried on their journey.
 
We saw the resident alligator one evening – he was at least 8ft and came right up under the observation deck we stood on.  We could see the tracks were he crosses the road between ‘ponds’.  We meet Charles, a retired school teacher, and chat and share a beer for a couple of hours.

 
 
We are now staying at the State Park at Gulf Shores in Alabama.
