In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Mississippi Gulf coast






















We decided to play tourist today & started by returning to Boomtown Casino for their 1/2 off buffet again. That was noon, it's now 7pm & we are still full. There's more shrimp down here than we can eat. We drove out to a Gulf Island National Park & checked out their campground. We caught this raccoon foraging in the day. The boat is a shrimper heading home for the day. You can see the wide white sand beach here, it goes on for miles. The light house is metal & the only one to remain after 4 major hurricanes from 1906 to the last one, Katrina, in 2005. How about the live oak tree that was carved into porpoises? A chain saw artiste went along the beach after Katrina and carved many remaining tree trunks into unique sculptures along the shore.
