Halloween in Biloxi

We have been settling in and meeting old friends, I played poker once and Judy has started up her water aerobics class.  We have been out to eat with our HH friends and went to see the movie Alex Cross.  On Halloween day we drove to Biloxi for the night.  Before the trick or treaders started to arrive Renato was making dinner....pork loin, rice & black beans.  I will continue to say he's a very good cook.

OK winter.....we are ready now!

OK winter......bring it on!  We are in Gulf Shores, AL and ready for you.  Patches is resting up & will be ready too.

Biloxi, Mississippi

You know, it's kind of fun typing Mississippi.  Anyway, we arrived Tuesday afternoon and after setting up Jody & Renato stopped by and picked us up so we went to Newks and then to the movies to see ARGO.  Tuesday is cheap movie night.  We were there for 6 nights and would you believe I never even thought about taking a picture of them!!!!  I'm not loosing it.....I've lost it!
Judy's birthday was Wednesday and her goal was to bet $5 at every Biloxi casino.  She started out by herself in the am then picked me up so we hit a few more.  She didn't make her goal and even went to Treasure Bay while I ran errands but still only visited 4 of 9 in our stay.  If you are wondering she was $27 up at the end.
Renato & Jody are busy fixing up their home and Renato was sanding, staining and finishing with polyurethane the front doors.  He also made a very good pizza before we left.....turkey sausage pesto, basil, onion & mushrooms.  One day we had some buffalo and elk burgers.  Jody & Judy got some shopping done too.
Saturday & Sunday there was a Civil War , excuse me.....war of northern aggression, reenactment at Jefferson Davis' estate, Beauvoir, on the other side of the fence from us.  We didn't go but I was home Sunday and got to hear & feel the cannons and muskets firing.  It was a change from the trains, many many train, passing the other side of the RV park.
Mississippi    Mississippi   Mississippi, OK, that's enough.

Travelling....Little Rock, AR & Vicksburg, MS

Downtown Riverside Park in Little Rock, AR; it REALLY is downtown.

Ameristar Park in Vicksburg, MS.  This is the same path we took last year to Biloxi.

This is why we are here!

Wes smoking brisket and ribs.

While we were in Hermosa, SD and visiting Western Buffalo Mel had a great idea and got a buffalo brisket to go with the beef briskets and ribs. Here's the buffalo just out of the smoker.

Harold is helping Wes slice brisket while others wait for a taste.

Chow time.  Good job as always Wes!  Pot lucks are great.  Judy made 10 pounds of German potato salad and Wes could have all that was left, he loves it......but there wasn't any.

There were 21 rigs here for the rally and here's a group picture.

Chicken Creek Classic rally

As you can see the party is growing.  Patches really likes this park as she wants out much more than in the past few weeks.  We have campfires at night and to our amazement a UFO buzzed us!!!!!

Cookson, OK & Chicken Creek rally

Today we made the 3 or 4 hour pull to the Corps of Engineers Chicken Creek park in Oklahoma.  We have been here several times for a fall rally, I think five times now.  The rally starts Wednesday but we like that area and friends so we went in on Monday to beat the rush....but there were already 6 or 7 HitchHikers there.
