Horn Island is a long, thin barrier island off the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, south of Ocean Springs. It is part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. Horn Island is several miles long, but less than a mile wide at its widest point. As you can see Horn Island does not have the sugar-white sand dunes now because of the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The island has sea oats, tall pines on small groves, and a few inland lagoons. It is home to varied wildlife including alligators, ospreys, pelicans, ducks, tern, herons, and other migratory birds. Horn Island is not alone in its small island group. Similar nearby islands include Petit Bois Island to the east, and Ship Island (been here several times) and Cat Island to the west. Of the group, Horn Island is the largest. (See map above)

It much worse than sad.
You got that right Charles!
I totally agree with the both of you. Does the word "Ashamed" fit in here somewhere?
