Day 2-May 27, 2016-To Biloxi, MS
Drove 222.2 miles in 3-3/4 hours. Only got to 85 today, a bit of a cloud cover and more humid near the beaches. Got an early start because of the time zone change. Took 2 more hours to get out of Florida into Alabama. Not much traffic for the day before a holiday week-end until we got to Pensacola and then again as we went through the Mobile tunnel. We’re staying at Boomtown Casino RV Park for three nights. We realized we would have a hard time getting into some campgrounds for the holiday week-end so we took this for three nights. There’s plenty here to keep us occupied, the Biloxi Shuckers, a minor league baseball team, nine casinos and lots of beaches. Got in early (12:30), settled in the site, had lunch then drove to the ball field to get tickets for Sunday night. The stadium is only 2 miles from the campground, across the street from Casino Row (Beach Blvd.) Found somewhat cheap diesel ($1.91) and filled up. The price went up to $2.09 before we pulled out. Drove along the miles and miles of beautiful beaches. Very windy today, there’s sand all over the street, and the gulf has a lot of white caps. Back to camp, had dinner, then went across the street to the Boomtown Casino, not too big, not too small, we even came out ahead.
