We said goodbye to the Davis Bayou Campground today.....Bye to the gators in the ponds by the boardwalks...
Bye to the turtles crossing the road.....
Bye to the beautiful scenery and picnic park areas down by the fishing pier at Davis Bayou campground....
Bye to the Hurricane Katrina chainsaw tree sculptures in Biloxi along highway 90....There's a wonderful story behind one of them, which is not pictured. One of the sculptures is a pair of angel wings...The story is that three people survived the hurricane by hanging onto an old oak tree for three hours while the storm raged over them. The angel wings were commissioned to be carved in gratitude as they felt there was a guardian angel watching over them that day as they survived the hurricane by hanging onto the tree. The tree died after the storm but the sculpture lives on in the town of Bay St. Louis.
Bye to the beautiful Hurricane Katrina Memorial in Biloxi close to these sculptures....
We heard some awful stories from residents sitting next to us at lunch one day, who had to leave the area when the hurricane hit...Thirty foot storm surge...Some homes surviving without a scratch, others totally gone...They had to stay out of their homes for a month before they could return to see what they had lost....
Bye to the weird and wacky tourist attraction bait---Sharkshead Souvenirs in Biloxi on that same highway 90...
Bye to Ocean Springs sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico....
We enjoyed our stay very much at the Davis Bayou Campground and would definitely come back here...There is lots more to see...But we have to move on...Texas, HO!
Until next time...see you on the road......
A photo journal about traveling in the U.S. We first full timed in a motorhome for three years, then came off the road to live in a house for seven years, we missed full timing so much we sold our house and bought a fifth wheel. On the road again for another three years. As we have aged and are in our late 70's, we finally sold our RV and settled down in Elkhart, IN where some of our family is located. We do miss traveling so the blog is still about trips we take here and there.....
