Finally the sun is shining in the south again... all is good...

We toured The Stennis Space Center. This space center was established in 1963 to test the stages of the rockets that took Americans to the moon. Today the space center tests all space shuttle main engines as well as rocket engines for future spacecraft. In addition to engine testing this complex also houses more that 30 different agencies; department of defense, the national data buoy center, and the EPA. The Naval Oceanographic Office houses one of the fastest supercomputers in the world!!

Below are pictures of the the shower facility and toilet in the space station . The pictures of the towers are the testing facilities for rocket engines the engines are strapped down and tested.

Diners, Drive ins, and Dives

The shed BBQ and Blues Joint was featured on an episode of DDD

The place was a fun and funky kinda place!! There was some disappointment of the food, however the Chicken and Ribs were absolutely the best very moist and smokey flavor, a bit sweet which was very different for us. Now for the bad... the brisket and pulled pork was dry and really tough not much smoke flavor, in fact we had a hard time distinguishing from the pulled pork and brisket all chopped up. Not to our liking. There is an outdoor stage and Friday & Saturday nights Blues music is featured. Right next door is a campground not affiliated with the shed... WE thought that would be a fun place to spend the weekend.

Until next time...
