Long Beach, Miss?
Anyone familiar with Long Beach, Mississippi?
I'm heading there in a few weeks to work at an Elementary school (some volunteer type work). We're also trying to raise some cash (goal = $25K) to help some good people get back on their feet. They need everything - they were wiped out completely and the community has very little money for supplies. Anyway, I'm in charge of setting up camp for about 6 of us and was wondering if anyone knows of any campgrounds that might be open for business and are in or very close to Long Beach. TIA, Scout |

Long Beach, Miss?
I'm from Gulfport (next town east) but not living there now, and have been down twice since the storm to help relatives drag out their belongings (and some of mine that were stored there). When I was down last no campgrounds were open for business within thirty miles of the coast. However, that was several months ago. Most volunteer groups were camping on various church grounds. Strongly suggest you contact your sponsor if you have one and have them give guidance. You might also try the Sun Herald online to get the most up to date briefing on the situation. A great sailing area if you have time and can hook up with someone whose boat wasn't destroyed. Frank On Tue, 22 Nov 2005 03:15:33 -0500, "Scout" wrote: Anyone familiar with Long Beach, Mississippi?

For most of them had a partnership in a sailboat that was docked in Gulfport harbor. Sold it in the late '90s and am currently boatless (but looking). South of Fla? not often. Get to TX a lot. Have relatives scattered about Houston, (Richmond, Friendswood) and some in Boerne. Go to Mexico Beach, Fla. a couple of times a year. Great place. |
