Day 3

We packed up in below freezing temps but were rewarded with a bald eagle sighting as we left the park. We were the only campers in the whole park last night and loved the solitude. We drove for almost 100 miles on the Natchez Trace Parkway, sometimes with a speed limit of 50 mph, but I didn’t mind because it was so beautiful. We stopped for coffee in Tupelo, Mississippi (birthplace of Elvis Presley) and listened to Van Morrison’s “Tupelo Honey” on Spotify. We stopped for the night at Mississippi’s oldest State Park “Leroy Percy State Park”.  Two things we’ve noticed about Mississippi State parks that we love; disc golf in the park and laundry on site.
