5 nights on Mayes Lake<\/mark><\/strong>…literally camping on the “inside curve” of the oxbow lake, and only 3 miles from downtown Jackson, Mississippi. We drove the first\/southernmost 101.5 miles on the Natchez Trace Parkway<\/mark><\/strong> to get here, and then spent our first day driving ~30 miles farther north, making several stops and doing some hiking. <\/p>\n\n\n

Second day, we went into downtown Jackson, MS<\/mark><\/strong>, to visit Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home NM<\/strong><\/mark>, the Mississippi Capitol<\/mark><\/strong>, and the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum<\/mark><\/strong>. We had dinner at a restaurant recommended to us when we were in Charleston, SC…the Iron Horse Grille, which even had a Mississippi Blues Museum in it, with several wax figures, including BB King.<\/p>\n\n\n

Third day, avoiding the traffic associated with a Marathon in Jackson (and being “only” an hour away), we took a day-trip to Vicksburg, MS<\/mark><\/strong> (previously visited in the fall of 2013). We visited 2 new (to us) museums downtown, grabbed ice cream sodas at the Biedenharn Coca Cola Museum, re<\/span><\/strong>visited Vicksburg NB<\/strong><\/mark>, and finished our day with dinner at Walnut Hill Restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday we just hung out at LaFleur’s Bluff SP<\/strong><\/mark>. Over 4 days we got in…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
