Ocean Springs Mississippi

After spending a week in Jackson Mississippi with Jackie's Aunt Jackie we moved to Ocean Springs. It is about 6 miles east of Biloxi. We are staying in a Federal Park. Davis Bayou Campground. With my Golden Access Pass if only costs $8 per night and that includes water and electricity. We get asked by some of our friends what it costs to park. For the past 2 months we have averaged $12.39 per night. We parked for free for a week at Aunt Jackie's so it helped drop the cost some. I am still getting about 13 miles per gallon pulling the trailer. These pictures are were we are now parked. The picture with the rain was our 2nd day. It poured. There were tornado warnings, which means one has been sighted or radar shows one. Also there were flash flood warnings and we were parked next to a dry creek. We made it but there were a few hours of holding our breath. The campground ground we are in is surrounded by nice wildlife area and walking trails. A 1/4 mile from us is a fresh water alligator pond with this guy living in it. The campground is close to the ocean with a bayou that you can launch a boat and access the ocean. The beaches have beautiful white sand and calm ocean. No waves. Other than the 2nd morning with all of the rain the weather has been calm and warm. A little cool 1st thing but mid 60's to low 70's. The bad news is I have been sick. Had to go to an Urgent Care and after a shot, breathing treatment, ears flushed and a couple prescriptions I am on the mend. Bronchitis again. Third time in the past year. So we have been kinda stuck to the rig. We get out but don't do much more than a driving tour. BUT!! we did go to the Shed. It is a BBQ joint that has been on the tv show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Will post a blog on it next. Spoiler alert.......I make better ribs that they do. Some of you have had my ribs and know I make good ribs. I would put mine up against them any day. Not to brag but........
