<\/a>STE3 Hop 5<\/p><\/div>153 miles via US 90, MS 43, I-10, AL 59 and the Foley Beach Express. Cumulative miles: 907. Truck miles: 341. Cumulative truck miles: 1220.<\/p>\n
We don’t normally go on toll roads, but in this case it seemed like a good thing to do: by paying a $4.25 toll to use the Foley Beach Express we cut off over 10 miles of travel. It was a nice road, too. Well worth it.<\/p>\n
This was another beautiful travel day – sunny, nearly cloudless, low 70s. The roads weren’t too crowded and we got some nice scenery, particularly across the Pascagoula River and Mobile Bay.<\/p>\n
We spent 3 nights at the Silver Slipper Beachfront RV Park in Waveland MS. This is a bare-bones park with no amenities at all, unless you call the Gulf of Mexico an amenity. We had a beautiful concrete pad site with a view of the Gulf. No cable TV, but we pulled in a few channels from Biloxi. We very much liked this place and would return again.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Sunset over the RV<\/p><\/div>One of our free days was spent traveling to New Orleans, as reported in the preceding post. The other day was spent, mostly, at the nearby Silver Slipper Casino<\/a>. I played slots for over two hours and broke even (as the old joke goes… it is a good thing that I broke even because I needed the money). In the evening both Jett and I went and I lost $26 but she won $91. A good night at the casino made even better because we went to the buffet. I had to think twice because it was pricey: nearly $30 each. But we needed a good meal and, hey, we were up, so what the heck. Imagine my surprise when I was told that the buffet would be free for us – we had been randomly selected for a free meal. A good night at the casino made even better. The best part of the buffet was the made-to-order funnel cakes for dessert. Yum!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 153 miles via US 90, MS 43, I-10, AL 59 and the Foley Beach Express. Cumulative miles: 907. Truck miles: 341. Cumulative truck miles: 1220.
