Going Down South To Mississippi
Posted on Oct 26, 2009 under Fishing Trips | 9 Comments
For those who enjoy participating in outdoor activities, the state of Mississippi has a lot to offer. Named for the Mississippi River, many people sign up for canoe trips, horse rides, fishing trips, biking adventures, and more because of the beautiful landscape, lakes, streams, horse trails, and more that is available. Mississippi is a place where you can go to relax and enjoy being around nature. Old plantations, historic civil war sites, and open fields are places you can go to visit when you want to see a little bit of history.
But there is more to Mississippi than outdoor activities. If you want to meet new people, see the sights, and have fun at night time, you should visit larger cities such as Gulfport. With casinos and other attractions, you will be able to find excitement in the nightlife that surrounds you. Close to the ocean, you can take walks and listen to water from your Gulfport hotel room. The casinos also feature great food, musical acts, and much more. You can choose to stay in the casino hotels or you can find other accommodations if you plan on seeing other parts of Mississippi. If you crave more nightlife, you can always make the short trip to New Orleans from Gulfport.
Biloxi is another city located in Mississippi. This city also has a lot to offer in terms of entertainment and historical places to visit. If you want to visit historical attractions, you will not have to travel too far.
The Biloxi Lighthouse is a place you don’t want to miss. It was built in 1848 and was said to be the first cast metal lighthouse in the South. In addition, while in Biloxi, be sure to check out the Mardi Gras Museum. It features over 300 years of traditional Mardi Gras costumes, history, and artifacts.
If looking for landmarks, you will find everything from old mansions to bridges. There are battlefields, churches, libraries, cemeteries, forts and much more located throughout the state. You will have to decide what to see and plan in advance because some places require reservations in order to see them. If you are traveling with a group, Mississippi is a good vacation destination because of the amount of activities you can participate in.
When you are deciding where to stay in Mississippi, you should consider staying in a campground or resort. These places will have additional information about local attractions, and sites that you will not want to miss. Along the way, you can ask local residents what they would recommend in terms of food, attractions, and other activities. Meeting new people can be the best part of a vacation. In Mississippi, people are very friendly and you will not be afraid to ask for advice on which attractions to visit. Once you have traveled to Mississippi, you will want to return in order to see more of this wonderful state.

Are there as many gay people down south? (Alabama, Mississippi, Lousiana, etc.)?
I live in the suburbs of Chicago and there is an alarming number of gays in my graduating class. I am not calling straight people gay, many of the gays have admitted to it. There is about 10 gay people to the 450 straight ones. (This includes both men and women). I was wondering (hoping) that there aren’t as many homos down south so that I can move down there and not have to see the ridiculous clothes and dumb comments from them on a daily basis. DO NOT ANSWER IF YOU ARE GOING TO CALL ME A HOMOPHOBE OR A HOMO.

Yes, there are gay people in the South. There are gay people everywhere. I live in Tennessee and we have a whole gay district in Downtown Nashville. I think you are just going to have to get over it and learn some tolerance.

There is a study that has concluded that gays make up 10% of the population. So no matter where you go, the 10% is there. Some of them in the closet.
I live in Texas and know many gays and Lesbians!

You are indeed a homo. We are all homos. Homo Sapien. Now, you do have a problem with gays? Why? Live and let live.

In the south, you may be able spread your hate and fear more freely. Perhaps you can vote for someone who will not proecute hate crimes like lynching.
