Location: Davis Bayou National Seashore Campground; Ocean Springs, Mississippi. (just east of Biloxi)
Warning; There won't be any pictures in this post because I haven't figured out how to upload my pictures from my cell phone to this new fancy laptop. My old laptop gave up the ghost after at least 15 years of use. I had been nursing and cajoling it for a couple of years. Luckily. I saw the future a few months and bought a new laptop when they were on sale at Best Buy. I loaded a few programs on it, charged it up and set it aside until the day it would come to the rescue. That day was today. However, it seems computer stuff has changed a little bit over the last 15 years that I've been using my old laptop. The more I've gotten into this new laptop, the steeper the learning curve gets. Oh well, it will give me something to do instead of walking the while sands of the Florida beaches, or watching sunrises/sunsets or sipping coffee on the banks of Corps lakes. Yep, I sure am going to miss those boring activities while learning this new tech stuff.
This campground, Davis Bayou, is a small National Seashore campground. That means the senior pass is recognized and the camping rate is $11.00/night for water/electric. Good deal. The campground is perfectly maintained, and its condition is probably in my top 10. The problem is it fills up quickly due to its size and likeability. The camp host said he hasn't checked in a while, but soon, the entire summer and fall will be reserved. I made my reservation about 2 months ago and I felt lucky to have scored a spot.
The campground is across Biloxi Bay from the town of Biloxi. I went there on my second day here to check out a museum and to drive through town. The museum, Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum ranked a 3 out of 10 but I think I need to check to make sure I haven't gotten unfairly jaded to all museums. The museum didn't surprise me too much since I've been disappointed in them for a while. The real surprise was the vibe I got from driving along the beach road through Biloxi. It wasn't a good or bad vibe. It was something on the bad side of center. One of those iffy things. To calibrate my vibe meter, I checked with 2 other people and mentioned how I felt and they both agreed. I guess that means I won't be back, but the campground is so great, if I can get reservations again I'll be back and will just avoid Biloxi.
I had pictures that I planned to post here but since I can't upload them, I'll just have to wait for me to educate myself. Once I graduate, with honors of course, from my Windows 11 Home Schooling Program, I might come back and post the pictures.
Tomorrow is moving day and I'll be headed to another National Seashore Park. It's Fort Pickens National Seashore. I've been waiting years to get there which usual means I've over-hyped it in my mind and will be disappointed. We will see.
Once again, I'm sorry for no pictures.
Ya'll take care of each other. Maybe I'll Cya down the road.
Dropbox works well for moving photos back and forth between phone and computer.
