The last couple of hours we have been poking along the beach highway looking for geocaches. We found some in Waveland, Pass Christian, and Long Beach. All three have been secreted in oak trees!  In two instances we parked parallel to the beach and walked to the cache site. One was cleverly hidden inside a hollowed out oak branch! Another one was hidden on the campus of Gulf Park College  (now a campus of University of Southern Mississippi) in Long Beach. The treat there was walking past the sculpted tree in the median of the highway!  Then as we drove through Biloxi we made a spur of the moment decision to stop for shrimp and oysters at Shaggy’s, a beach restaurant that promises to operate on Island Time!
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
