August 4-8, 2014 – Pass Christian and the Gulf Coast of Mississippi

Image
Monday morning we left Robertsdale and headed west into Mississippi.   We are staying at TLC Wolf River Resort just outside Pass Christian, MS.   This is a very nice resort and we have a nice long, wide site.   Our site is just up the hill from the Fountain Bayou which connects to the Wolf River.   We think this will be a great place to kayak.   Tuesday morning we drove south to Highway 90 which follows the coast from the Louisiana border to the Alabama border.   We stopped a few miles down the road at Beauvoir, the Jefferson Davis Home and Presidential Library.   The house was built by planter-entrepreneur James Brown in 1852.    Jefferson Davis, the former president of the Confederacy, visited Beauvoir in 1875 and again in 1876.    The owner at that time, Sarah Dorsey, who was a classmate of Varina Davis, invited Davis to write his memoirs at the estate.    The Davis’s purchased Beauvoir in 1879 an...

END OF TRIP TO ALASKA We left Cody and headed south towards Colorado. We stopped in Douglas, WY and spent Sunday night at their city park – a nice little park where you can dry camp overnight for free. Monday we headed to Loveland and are staying at Loveland RV Resort. We have traveled 12,314 miles in 3 months and 3 weeks – what a great trip!! Now that our Alaska trip is over we will update this blog periodically to keep our family and friends informed of where we are and what we are doing. We plan to stay in Loveland for a week and then head to Chama, NM where Rex will volunteer on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad for about a month.

June 4, 2009 We drove Northwest of Jasper along the Yellowhead Highway to Mount Robson Provincial Park. We saw a moose along the river in the distance but wasn’t close enough to get a picture. We saw Yellowhead Lake and Moose Lake, and had a picnic lunch at the Mt. Robson Visitors Center. The scenery is spectacular – a picture of Mt. Robson. Our site at Whistler campground. June 5 We left Jasper in the sunshine and warm but the further North we got, the colder, rainier and more grey it got. As we turned north on route 40 to Grand Paririe, we started to hit a little snow. Didn’t last long but really woke us up. It stayed rainy and grey until we got to Grand Cache then it started to clear. We also got our first real windshield chip today, but a trip to WalMart and a windshield repair kit later we were fixed. The land here is somewhat hilly, swampy and covered with trees. There are some really big oil and gas complexes and some large lumber mills such as the one we saw in Grand Paririe. ...
