We started the morning with biscuits and sausage gravy that Mark & Lori brought with them. Afterwards we walked it off with a long hike. The day went by fast and before we knew it it was time to drive into Pensacola to meet up with friends at O'Riley's pub for dinner and the evening Mardi Gras Parade. It wasn't as crowded as last year but there were still plenty of people fighting to catch beads and whatever else was being tossed from some spectacularly decorated Floats. It was a lot colder this year but we hung in there to the end, then hiked several blocks to our car before driving an hour back to camp. Needless to say Gus was very glad to see us when we got back "home".
