The Catch All

sooner or later in an RV, there will be one cabinet that becomes the "catch - all". Ours is over the dining table and there is a plethora of junk up there...it's fun to open the door and see what spills out.

We finally got into Gulfport today. We blew thru Mississippi as the road was flat and straight..well, occasional hills, but nothing like the mountains of TN/GA/NC. You know you are in the middle of nowhere when the exit signs not only tell you what that exit is for, but also how long until the next exit....sure does make you watch the gas gauge.

Gulfport is a town that was just hammered by Hurricane Katrina several years ago. We got into town late and that is another item or rule for the road....get into the campsite before dark!! It's just better on everyone..especially parents with frayed nerves. Anyway, even in the dark, you could still see that the town is reeling. There are brick and concrete footers where houses used to stand and the block between our campground and the gulf is nothing but sand now...and it looks like it used to be a motel or similiar structure. Morning and "light" should bring more.

Goodnight all.
