Mississippi

Saturday was cross the Mississippi River Day!  We were on our way to Natchez, hoping to see a bit of the town Greg Iles describes so well in his novels.  The bridge we crossed looked like Christo had visited - they were working on the lanes heading West and had draped tge bridge with canvas.  Hard to see in the photo...

Decided to have lunch at the Magnolia  Bluff Casino that is right on the river - just in case there was an empty seat at a Black Jack table.  Unfortunately when we finished it started raining hard so our tour of Natchez was shortened to seeing buildings on our way out of town.  The downtown area was reminiscent of Charleston.  

We found our campground outside Meridian MS - a pretty city that reminded us of many Southern cities with sprawling suburbs.  The campground was at Lake Okatibbee - close in name to Okatie!  Maybe our GPS knows we are heading home!   This was our last night camping with Hilda.  Sunday we will be at Bradberry's "Trailer Park". And home on Tuesday.  It has been a great adventure!
