Davis Bayou Area Part 2
Gulf Islands National Seashore, MS, March 2026 Since I missed adding my selfies before the first David Bayou Area post went up, I decided another post needed to be added.

Hood’s Ducks
Hood’s Outdoor Center, Alabama, March 2026 Anyone who has ever driven with Kate (especially when she is the driver) knows she can’t resist large roadside attractions.

Holey Toad!
Escatawpa Hollow State Park, Alabama, March 2026 Literally! John took MacKie out for some sun, and his cat became fixated on something. It turned out to be a 6 inch brown lizard.

Alabama Welcome Center
March 2026 I absolutely love going to Welcome to Centers. They usually have tons of tourist brochures on must see places. The Alabama Welcome Center was no different.

Bogue Chitto State Park
Bogue Chitto State Park, LA, March 2026 It looks like it should be, but it is not, pronounced like Bag-o-Cheetohs. Based on questioning locals, “Bogue” rhymes with “yoga”, “Chit” has a “Ch” like “Cheese, “Chit” rhymes with “hit”, and “to” rhymes with “toe”. The pronunciation is something like “Bow-guh Chit-toe”. The park is located beside…

Poverty Point Marina (Again Again)
Poverty Point Marina, LA, February 2026 We went to the marina again the next morning, and some of the birds Kate saw were there. We stopped at the entry pond which had fishermen on the shore and boats in the water. The snipes probably ran for the hills. We though there was nothing in the…
