DAVIS BAYOU CAMPGROUND, OCEAN SPRINGS, MS
We moved from Whitten Park Campground, Fulton, MS, to Davis Bayou Campground, Ocean Springs, MS on Saturday, February 29.  The sun was shining brightly all the way and the temperature reached a welcomed 72 degrees.  Ahhhh.  Nothing like the warmth of sunshine!  Here is our campsite:

Once George was able to maneuver into this spot, it was nice.  We did meet some challenges when we arrived at the campground.  First, our CoPilot GPS app took us to a gate for the park that was closed, and George had to back the camper up down a residential street and then make a 3 point turn to get to the correct entrance.  Our backup camera definitely came in handy in that situation.  Once we got into the campground, our site was at a 90 degree angle to the road, with low-hanging trees above, and a post directly across from the site entry.  It took a few attempts to back the rig into the site, and a little help from another camper.  Mike from Iowa kept additional eyes on the obstacles around us so we wouldn't hit any of them!  Thank goodness for friendly campers! 

Yesterday was spent grocery shopping and relaxing.  Note in the picture above that George set up the hammock for me.  It's in a perfect shady place. I can lie there and watch the clouds float by or watch the birds with binoculars. 

Today we took the dogs for a 3+ mile hike, under the canopy of mature trees.  So peaceful!

We even saw a few gators along the bayou.  Can you spot them?

We made sure Licorice and Taffy did not get too close to the water.  The gators were about 3 feet in length.  They were not too active.  They seemed to be enjoying the sunshine, too.

We also drove over to Ocean Springs Beach on the Gulf of Mexico this afternoon.  It's about 4 miles from our campground. The water was cold, so no one was swimming.  The bridge behind me leads to Biloxi, MS. 

This evening, George made fried chicken on a cast iron skillet over a campfire.  Topped it off with diced potatoes that we cooked in tin foil over the fire, and a salad.  Delicious.  All in all, a great day!  We are feeling so blessed!
