50 STB - Them Gators in that Bayou! Mississippi

The Party Bus pulled into the Gulf Coast Gator Ranch early in the morning. A Warped Witch I Be thought it would be a good idea to check out gators while we were in Mississippi and WakeUpAndLive~gummy worms BOO Reluctant Halloweenist and Giant Phantom Jelly wanted to see what all the hype was since they didn’t have gators were they lived. Our tour guides, Susie and Tim, were very friendly. They took us inside the Gator Ranch and started showing us the alligators. One of the gators snapped at Morticia Wednesday Megan Rose so she bought a "just in case" stick. Susie and Tim let us pet the baby gators. Their skin is kinda rugged and slimly. I took a picture of Spooky Kooky Krista petting one for her Instagram.



After we got done hanging with the gators, Susie and Sal took us for an airboat ride! What fun. The party crew was able to fit in a big fat airboat. There was a huge fan in the back that pushed the boat. Sal let me drive the boat for a bit. I slowed down enough to let Reluctant Halloweenist and WakeUpAndLive~gummy worms BOO feed the gators.

For dinner, we went to Nana’s Seafood, but Giant Phantom Jelly had a vegan stash on the Party Bus that Reluctant Halloweenist gave her. Morticia Wednesday Megan Rose tried the catfish.

After dinner we went on the haunted Bayou Cruise. The boat was a pontoon boat which had just enough seats for the guides and the Party Crew. A Warped Witch I Be channeled her inner witch and saw several old souls lingering in the mist. AmyJo-Zombie hours tried to feed the alligators, but couldn’t find any. The humidity was a killer! My curly hair frizzed right out. Spooky Kooky Krista said she could feel the sweat run down her back. Everyone complained. When the sun set, the guides took us back to the dock. The knats were really annoying and the old ghostly souls couldn’t even chase them off.

After the ride, our guides feed us smores, plied us with tequila sunset. They apologized for the humidity as well as the knats. All was forgiven – especially after the tequila sunsets. The Party Crew did the pub crawl we learned in Minnesota and made it back to the Party Bus where we passed out quickly. I think our snoring kept the old ghostly bayou souls up though. I think I saw one of them knocking on the windows trying to get us to wake up and stop.
