Last night was very peaceful. We heard small animals moving about but didn’t hear the barking of the fox family that lives on the property.
We spoke to the neighbor across from us. His house had burned and he was in the process of renovation. He had his hands full.
More photos were taken and we walked down to the dock to look at the water. Having not been there long, Thomas spots a Manta Ray swimming along. It was probably about a foot wide or so. There was a school of small fish, like minnows, about 30 feet long and 6 feet wide that swam past us. Most of the fish we spotted were these smaller ones but there were so many.
Discouragingly, we spotted what appeared to be filmy oil spots on top of the water. These spots were anywhere from 3” to 12” round and very thin filmy spots on the water. Any thoughts of fishing here dissipated unlike the oil.
The part of Gautier that we experienced was a very nice small and growing small beach town. The summers here would probably be brutal but this time of year is nice.
Having taken several photos to show Mom and Dad we decided to head on towards our next destination of Big Bend National Park in Southwestern Texas. I-10 will be taken from here to Fort Stockton, Texas. Baton Rouge, Louisiana was passed by at 6 pm.
Tonight found us in Crowley, Louisiana at the WalMart. A class C was there and around 8:30 pm a class A showed up with a nice tiger photo on the back. The driver’s name was Wayne and he was very nice. He was also heading for Texas.
Another long day put behind us………
