Davis Bayou Campground

Ocean Springs, MS

After our marathon week of traveling from Arizona to Mississippi, it was absolutely wonderful to have a relaxing day. 

Our only physical exertion was to take a bike ride to the Davis Bayou Visitor Center, a little over 4 miles round trip.

We spotted one gator but he was too far away to get a really good picture. 

 

 

 

We sat outside in the afternoon just enjoying the perfect weather.  Our neighbor came over to chat for a while.  After seeing our Florida plates he wanted to know if we were really from Florida.  We told him we were.  He said but you must have come from someplace else before Florida.  (I guess our accents gave us away) 

He said he was a Florida Cracker, born and raised in or near St. Augustine.  We spent a pleasant half hour chatting with him.  He stays at this campground regularly so we were able to get some info on the area (the best casino to go to for perks). 

I just really enjoy being back in "Nature".
