As I have been told over and over, Mississippi is not a good place to be in August. It is beautiful and the Natchez Trace is so peaceful to drive. THANK GOODNESS for air conditioning!!! We started the morning with a hike in Tishomingo State Park. The park was nearly all ours. Very few people were around. It was hard to believe how little use this park was getting. The trail was nice along Bear Creek and into the rock bluffs overlooking it. We began the hike crossing Bear Creek by way of a tremendous swinging bridge. This bridge made me nervous since it was built back in the CCC days.
Seeing the Indian mounds awakens my history background. We pasted by two different locations today and I know tomorrow we will go by the second largest in the US. Not being from cypress country, I find these trees beautiful. Their knees surprised Jan. She wasn’t familiar with this feature.
Tonight, being in Jackson, we went to see the movie “The Help”. This is where the movie was based. And since we are nearly old enough to remember the sixties, a lot of the history was well remembered.
