Ocean Springs / Biloxi bridge.

Ocean Springs is way cool south of 90. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually driven through there. Very very cool place.

Had business at Alcorn so I hit up Windsor and came back on 262 following Grants route into Raymond. Fun alternative to trace.

Didn’t eat MS this trip but revisiting some cool history in our backyard. Perfect weather didn’t hurt either!!! 50 mph with sunroof back all day.
 
The turn-by-turn waypoints and separate legs of the Georgia Traverse I used last week motivated me to go back over some of my favorite routes with the GIA GPS program and make it super easy for folks to make some of the best Mississippi treks I have laid out.

Today I marked my favorite route to and from Natchez and back via Church Hill, Rodney, Shaefer House, and Grand Gulf.

If anyone wants the .gpx file for a superb SW Mississippi trek PM me your email address.

Headed home from Tuscaloosa I went cross country at the border to look for a derelict bridge and just kept going.

This is some barren country. Pretty. Lots of hooks and trees.

LarryB and I tied in a Jackson to Philadelphia leg via Bienville National Forest yesterday.

Now if you want to go from Jackson to Alabama via dirt roads I have that mapped out.

Do you use an ap to track gps and then also give directions when you need to do it again?

Yeah. I have .gpx files I can send

That’s the line and waypoints.
