Shrimp & Grits

Tuesday
Washed the bugs off the van in the morning
Spent the afternoon at the beach on the St. Joseph Peninsula State Park.  Some of the beach scenes for Jaws were filmed here since Martha's Vineyard  was not sunny enough.

The campground where we stayed is now an island due to Hurricane Michael.  Learned from a FEMA worker that 49 bodies were discovered when the canal was dredged in Mexico Beach.  He stated that both the damage and death tolls originally reported were greatly underestimated.

Observed storm damage to homes, many of the homes on stilts looked like they were ready to topple over.
