(From
Vidalia, LA to Riverview RV Park, Vicksburg, MS)
We left
Vidalia, LA this morning and crossed the Mississippi River to Natchez, MS and
started north from the southern terminus of the Natchez Trace Parkway.
The Parkway
is strictly for residential vehicles and vehicles towing recreational
vehicles. No commercial vehicles
whatsoever are allowed on the Parkway.
The maximum speed limit is 50 mph and with the smooth two-lane road it
is a very easy, relaxing drive on the historical trace. There are turn-outs
fairly often at historical locations which allow nice and easy traffic flow.
We stopped a
couple of times at historical sites. One of those times was to eat a little lunch. On travel days we like to have easy things
like chicken or tuna salad and crackers.
Today was chicken salad.
The drive was
very easy going and we traveled about 85 miles of the Parkway today and really
enjoyed it. Originally we had planned to
stay a couple of nights near Jackson, MS at a campground very close to the
Trace. But we were looking at the map
and realized that Vicksburg was closer than we originally thought.
I had wanted to
sometime stay in Vicksburg and visit some Civil War historical sites. So we changed our plan and decided to stay at
River Town Campground for a couple of nights.
That’s one of the beautiful things about this lifestyle. We can change plans at any time to do whatever
strikes our fancy.
Tomorrow we’re
planning to visit the Vicksburg National Military Park.Well, that’s about it for tonight.
