We had a busy four days in Natchez, MS and enjoyed the ride along the Natchez Trace. One more destination checked off our list.
The drive to New Orleans was uneventful. Of interest though was the 15 mile bridge we drove across over the swamps of Louisiana. We’ve been to Key West and thought those bridges were long but the bridges over the Bayous were incredible.
Houses Along the Bayou
Old cemetery. People are buried above ground here.
Trying to get a reasonable CG in the area was a challenge but we managed to find one for under $30.00 per night instead of the usual $80.00. Not a great place but full hook-ups and close to town. The trailers in the background are some of the FEMA trailers used to house the people who lost their homes during Katrina.

We arrived around 2pm and it was 103 degrees and humid-humid –humid. Setting up was a challenge because I didn’t notice that the mud flap in the back got caught on the slight incline. Too busy making sure we cleared the tree. By the time we got set up we were both bright red, hit and sweaty. Ron hadn’t gotten a good nights sleep and was really tired not to mention irritated.
We spent the rest of the day and evening relaxing, catching up on the blog, making telephone calls to the family and napping. We thought about going to the French Quarter in the evening but opted to do that on Sunday instead along with some other tourist attractions.
