Friday November 17th
Plan to go somewhere in Mississippi. Left around 9:45am. Headed south on 82 by Lake Village then south on 65 to Tallulah LA then east on I-20 to Vicksburg. Crossed the Misssisssippi. At Vicksburg (now in Mississippi) took 27 south (got fuel at corner) to the Natchez Trace Parkway and then headed southeast.
Great open green fields to run dog’s with chuck it and ball.
Stopped at a few of the historic markers. Natchez parkway is a 441 mile trail from somewhere in TN to Natchez MI. People used to float goods down MI river to Natchez and then walk back. Also used by Indians. Natchez the town sounds like a good place to visit for a couple days. During its heyday ½ of all millionaires in US lived there and there are many mansions left that survived the war. We went by Natchez state park on this little cut off road (Maybe 353) then picked up 84 east. Looking for Clear Springs recreation area. It was off Providence then Clear Springs road(county road 104 but never saw it named that). There was a brown sign indicating turn through. Four miles south on Clear springs road to the campground. Another national forest campground with electric and water again. ½ of camp closed but we got a great site (#2) on the edge of the lake created by damming the creek. Unfortunately the lake has silted in so not clear aka not good for swimming dog or people. We walked around the lake, camp host said 1 mile hike but it twas 2miles. A bit much for me leg but I made it. We chilled, had asparagus for dinner. I showered and then we crashed.
