Short Visit to Buccaneer State Park

February 10-13, 2019

After 190 miles of bumpy riding, we landed at Buccaneer State Park in Waveland MS. We had site 81 which is the same site we had when traveling with our friends Curt & Glenda a few years ago. Since this site was an easy back in I decided to give it a go. With a lot of help from Dave, I managed to get us in with no damage to anyone or anything.

This is our 3^rd visit and we didn’t do much. Our days were made up of walking and vegging, though we didn’t spend much time sitting outside. The biting bugs here are notorious, we were fine when walking but if we stopped to talk they attacked, so 4 nights there was just enough. One of those small moments happened while we were walking one morning, a lady said Port Aransas to us. I figured that she must have seen us around Gulf Waters in TX, she then mentioned our Australian friends Ron & Rose, I then knew exactly who she was. Celia along with Ron & Rose had been parked next to us 2 years ago. You just never know who you are going to run into at a campground. 

We did find a place to get some fresh fish and frozen Royal Reds at a Kimball’s Seafood in Pass Christian. Royal Reds $8.5/pd, fresh TX shrimp $5.50/pd.

We also got a quick visit with our friend Deb who arrived on our last day here. She arrived in time to enjoy a few crawfish with Dave. This may be his last fix for a few years so got them while he could.

Our main reason for coming is so Dave could get his oyster fix at 200 North Beach in Bay St Louis about 4 miles down the road from us.

one happy man

Our next stop is a week at Meaher State Park in Spanish Fort AL, just outside of Mobile, we’ll be there for a week and doing some of the touristy things as we’ve never spent any time in this area. 

Until next time...
