The sun was peeking through the clouds this morning. We packed up, hooked up and pulled out of our site by about 10 am. We had a fairly uneventful drive the approximately 90 miles to Waveland, Mississippi. The skies kept getting darker though and about halfway it started to rain harder and harder. We were following Tom's instructions and when we were within a few miles of the campground we were starting to question whether he was steering us right. We were headed down a narrow street and saw a sign saying steep grade, but we couldn't see anything right away. As we progressed a little further though, we saw a very steep railroad crossing. So steep that if we tried crossing it, we might scrape something off. We had to turn onto a narrower street just this side of the traintracks and then back straight up and turn around. Tom was still trying to route us that way so we used my phone's gps instead to figure out a way around. The way we ended up going seemed much more logical and we aren't sure why Tom was trying to take us his way. We think it might be time to give Tom an update.
We got all checked in at our new campground, Buccaneer State Park. It is obvious that a lot of rebuilding and reconstruction is going on after previous storm damage and it was raining so hard when we got here that we really haven't looked around too much yet. We got set up in our site in the cold rain and cold wind and even though we're pretty good at it now, in the ten minutes or so it took, we were really soaked. We had to change and required some good hot cocoa to get defrosted.
We spent the rest of the evening getting our school and work done. Spence and Sky watched a movie and were quietly entertained together for a good couple of hours.
Even though we moved today, I think with the weather of the last few days, we are getting a little cabin fever. Tomorrow there's supposed to be some clearing of the weather, so hopefully we'll be able to get out and enjoy it.
