Camp #66 10-01-13 Long drive to Long Beach, Ms.via CRS

  10.01.13 We've all heard of CRS haven't we? I usually am up on my game 110% but...if their's one thing I hate to admit to it's the creeping, crawling introduction to CRS ! Heather just offhandidly asked me where I put our Wi-Fi Verizon device while travelling down the road. I immediately realized I'd left it outside on the trailer roof. (see last blog) OH-OH !!!  Of course it was history. Called Verizon and ordered a new one to the tune of $200. (Oh no, I didn't need insurance!!)Took a couple days but now we're back in business.
  Tues morning, Oct 1st, on the road at our usual 1000hrs, stopped in town for a few supplies and Southbound to Hattiesburg, Ms.
Traffic was light, even thru Jackson, so we hit Hattiesburg by 1330hrs. Still felt like driving and Heather said she was okay with that so we continued til we got to Long Beach, Ms. at Magic River Resort, one of our favorites.  Had to drive thru a little downpour for a 1/2 hr but then it dried up.
  As we pulled into the park about 1600 we noticed the bonfire wood pile was stacked high. I really like the fact that here they provide the wood.
We also saw some bass jumping in the ponds as we pulled in.
   Seems nice to have FHU's after a series of COE's. Haven't had that for a month or so. I certainly won't miss the "dump" routine every couple of days. Drizzled most of the night and the sun poked out about 1000. I wonder if the wood will be dry enough ?
   Been noticing the flocking geese thruout Mississippi. Makes me wonder if winter is far away. Some color in the trees in North Ms but not so much here in the south end.
   Met some neighbors here that we've seen before. Happy hour commenced again this afternoon and we've got a nice bonfire going. Debating about what bait we'll need to catch some of these bass.
10.04.13  Decided we'd go North 90 mls to Hattiesburg, Ms to avoid Hurricane Karen. Be gone for at least 4 days. We really don't want to get stuck on the roads if evacuation becomes mandatory.
10.08.13  Spent 4 days at Okatoma park in Hattiesburg and luckily the hurricane fizzled out. Back at Long Beach.
   Our friends, Bonnie & Clyde, from Texas, are meeting up with us Tues night.
   Weather reports for the week look very good. Back to normal!
When things settle down a bit I'll take some time and post some pictures. The fish are floppin' in the pond so I gotta go! Later.
REMEMBER, LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY!!
Charlie & Heather
