Some homes in Gulfport, Mississippi

It was Day 6 of my drive south from Detroit and I woke up early in a Biloxi, Mississippi motel room knowing this would be the most photo intensive day of the trip.

I planned to take photos of the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast homes on stilts along US 90, driving east to west, from Gulfport to Pass Christian, then on my way back US 90, I would photograph the marinas.

But first, I began with a drive around Gulfport and taking photos of the kind of houses most of us would live in. This area was close to Broad Street and the US Navy Seabee Base which was my homeport in the 1970s.
