CAMPGROUND: Davis Lake Campground, part of the Tombigbee National Park. Sites right on the lake. Electricity and water hook-ups. Great bathrooms with private shower rooms. Fire pit and stand-up grills. Definitely 5 stars out of 5. $13 with senior pass.
LOCATION: Just off the Trace, about 15 miles south of Tupelo, Mississippi, in NE part of state
WEATHER: Sunny and nice. Highs in upper 70s
We left Natchez State Park and headed north. This old abandoned store is next to the park.
There must have been a town there at one point. There is an old shack with a sharecropper's current home in the back.
We drove all day on the Natchez Trace Parkway, "retracing" our steps going back north. We stopped for a picnic at a wayside park. Note the split rail fence that is all along the Parkway.
It was an easy drive again, seeing a few RVs, bicyclists, and even a roller blader going down the middle of the highway!
We drove about 250 miles to this park. As we pulled in, the camp host greeted us in his kayak! We watched beautiful blue herons catching fish next to our site.
DINNER: Pasta salad.....penne pasta, spicy mayonnaise, salami, cheese, oil and vinegar, and Giardiniera mix. I found the recipe in a magazine. Easy and tasty.
