Catching up with pictures...

I apologize for not posting more pictures, but we were pretty much off the grid while in Natchez and on the Natchez Trace Parkway. So, here are some pictures since New Orleans.

Habiscus at our campsite on Lake Pontchatrain
 
We arrived in Mississippi on Wednesday and camped near Natchez

We stopped at many historical sites along the Natchez Trace Parkway.

This was one of the early settlements along the Trace. It was a plantation house in the early 1800's.

This was a processing operation for making syrup from sorghum

This old, old tractor seems to be from before they used rubber on the tires.

The pedal tavern in Nashville. This was a great party town!
