South of Vicksburg along the mighty Mississippi River is the picturesque city of Natchez, MS. It is said that General Grant was so taken by the beauty of the town that he gave orders to do no damage. The result is one of the largest collections of antebellum homes and buildings in the South. Our … Continue reading Plantations
Vicksburg, Mississippi has been on our destination list for a long time because of its part in the Civil War.

Mississippi Bottomland Forest (and Dulcinea) Traveling deeper into Mississippi, we visited the Sam D. Hamilton Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge. Noxubee is the name of the county where the refuge is located. This diverse habitat has been a refuge and breeding ground since 1940 for migratory birds, amphibians, reptiles, insects and a wide variety of wildlife. … Continue reading Wildlife and Wild Weather
We arrived at the great state of Mississippi where everything slows down to “river time.” Sunsets, conversations, music, traveling, cooking and even walking take on a drawling pace. Why Corinth? We came for the Civil War historic sites, but left with a love for this charming town anxious to share its architecture, history, and food … Continue reading Corinth, MS

From Carrollton, KY, we traveled south to Mammoth Cave National Park. Staying at the Thousand Trails Diamond Cavern RV Resort put us right at the entrance to the park. Mammoth Cave National Park is the site of the world’s longest cave. Now measuring over 420 miles, active cave explorations add to this total each year … Continue reading Mammoth Cave National Park
When we left Cleveland, the trailer, Lil Sebastian, was still winterized. This protects the delicate water systems from freezing and cracking in low temperatures. As the Weather Channel predicted temperatures at night to be below 32 degrees for the next week, we decided not to de-winterize until further south. We felt that with electric hook-ups … Continue reading A Fortnight of Winterized Camping
