[Ansteorra] High concern

[Padraig Ruad O'Maolagain]

A couple of alternatives:  There is a Shoney's on Hwy 49 in Hattiesburg, a bit over a mile southeast of where 49 and 59 cross, and one in Vicksburg off exit 1C, just before you cross the river into Louisianna.  According to the Shoney's website, both of those are still open.  Shoney's is one of my favorite places to stop for breakfast on the way home from War - lots of food, lots of choice, and best of all, an unlimited amount of coffee delivered to the table.  A great way to get fortified for the trip home to Ansteorra.

Any of you who believe themselves to be connoisseurs of the Shoney's breakfast buffet in picayune on the way home from Gulf Wars will be sad to learn it is closed.  That's right, Closed.  Out of business, no more, shut!

I am also worried about what I am going to do to recreate the buffet induced coma for the long drive home from Gulf Wars.  I might have to make conversation with them after a week of camping with them.  The thought is almost to scary to think about!

Oh no!  Since Gulf Wars I, we've stopped there on every trip to Gulf Wars for their Breakfast buffet on the way in. It has been a last, filling non-camping meal before the days of GW.  Since it is about 11 hours from home, we have planned things to hit there first and then go get in line for the rigors and waiting of GW check-in. Sigh.

One of my memories of that first Gulf Wars was pulling into the Shoney's parking lot and seeing a mid-sized car with a tall-sided trailer which looked like a porcupine with its bunch of pole arms and spears sticking up and out in all directions. "I bet I know where they're going!"
