We went walking around the town of Natchez MS today. Not only did I not need a toboggan, I started to do the other thing that I\u2019m allergic to besides work, and that\u2019s sweat. It was getting most warm &#8211; well not really &#8211; It wasn\u2019t all that warm at 71* but the humidity was cranking and everything was damp from the morning rain.<\/p>\n<p>We walked around 3 miles checking out the downtown area, many old buildings and a few mansions. Seems like it was common for plantation owners to live in town instead at their isolated plantations.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We rolled into town on 3\/24 and were planning to stay at the visitors center, but I didn\u2019t think we would be able to get level enough to be comfortable. So we went down the road to Natchez Trace State park for the night, then after a leisurely breakfast we went back to the visitors center and parked the Motorhome and walked around town where I started to do the sweating thing.YUK!!!!<\/p>\n<p>Leaving town we jumped on the Natchez trace Parkway for a leisurely drive of about 50 miles to a free National Park Campground. Nothing here to brag about except the price, it\u2019s in the woods with a nice picnic table and a nice fire ring that someone was nice enough to leave some wood for a fire.<\/p>\n<p>Natchez is a historic little town that I believe may be the oldest town in the Mississippi River area.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/ShowUserReviews-g60910-d216228-r154513474-Natchez_Pilgrimage_Tours_Day_Tours-Natchez_Mississippi.html<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style
