Walk, Walk, Walk

Let’s face it, when it comes to mileage, I didn’t put many on the car today. My shoes, however, are another story. The drive along US Highway 90 is stunning, with the Gulf of Mexico bordering the southern side of the road for a number of miles (basically from Pass Christian to the other side of Biloxi). I took plenty of opportunities to stop and walk, admiring the relatively nice weather and the fabulous views. Earlier today I posted a discussion with a photo from Jones Park. The highlight for me was the Biloxi Bay Bridge. The bridge, according to the markers along the walking/bicycling path (which is separated from the drivers by a sturdy wall), is about 1.7 miles one-way. It also goes UP....then down (which allows the fishing boats with their tall masts to go under the bridge). I figured there was no way I could walk all the way across, then back. And darn my luck, I don’t have an Uber or Lyft account. But I did make it to the pinnacle, which was only about half a mile from the eastern side of the bridge (where I parked). From there I took some great pictures of the bay, and just admired the view. The Davis Bayou area of Gulf Islands National Seashore is also in the area. There wasn’t a lot to do, because much of the area is restricted either due to covid or the damage caused by either Sally or Zeta, two of the hurricanes that slammed the region in 2020. But it offered some more seashore viewing as well as a great place to take a nap. Not much accomplished today, but very much appreciated for the scenery!!
