We did not travel far yesterday, the closest of all our trips ever. A whopping 86 miles. From Vicksburg to Natchez, Mississippi only we crossed over and sitting in Vidalia, Louisiana. 4 years ago we wanted to camp at the Mark Twain Campground, also on the river, but in Memphis, Tennessee. However, it was under water. I am sure it is open now, but we are not 'north', we are working our way south and to the west, heading towards Picacho, Arizona.
We traveled the Natchez Parkway to the southern terminus (end/starting point) and hopped over the bridge in Natchez to here. Since we knew what to expect on the parkway, we relaxed and just enjoyed the 50 mile an hour speed. Did the best mileage per gallon of the trip, 11.2! Now - we are sitting here watching tug boats with barges drift up and down the river. Really cool! Looking for Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn to float by any day. We can only stay here till Friday, there is a large rally coming in and they have booked the entire campground. That's okay - we will head to Livingston, Texas from here.
