A Fun Two Weeks in Natches, MS

Tuesday, March 17:  Sam Houston Jones SP, Lake Charles, Louisiana

We stopped for a return visit for one night on our way home.  We had a 2 night stay back in January on our way to Texas.  This is a lovely park that has recently been rebuilt after storm damage.

Wednesday March 18:  River View RV Park in Vidalia, Louisiana.

Site 150

The RV Resort is located on the Mississippi River right across from Natchez, MS.  This is our 3rd time here, and each time we stay a little longer.  There is lots of open space to walk the pups, as well as a large dog park.  And we never tire of watching the constant flow of barge traffic on the river.  And a short 10 minute drive takes you to the historic area of Natchez along the bluff over looking the river.  For you history buffs, this Wikipedia entry is a good beginning point to learn more.  

We connected with our Baton Rouge friends for a second time on this trip.  They come to this park often for Memorial and Labor Day Holidays.  In fact, the 6 of us have started calling ourselves The Motley Crew.  This time they even brought along another family member couple who RV and we had a grand time.

Lunch at Fat Mamas.

As with many of our camping stops, we made some new friends here.  Bill and Jeanne full time in a Brinkley camper, and we hit it off instantly.  We only got to spend a couple of days with them, but made plans to try to connect where they summer at a park in Connecticut. 

We made a visit to the Saturday Farmers Market in Natchez where we picked up a few goodies.

We had such a nice time that we made reservations for a month long stay over the Christmas and New Year Holidays next winter.  Maggie and Parker loved their porch time and all the attention they received.

 I'll end with some photos of the amazing sunrises over the Mississippi River and Natchez.  

Now it's a final almost 3 week swing home.  Stay tuned.
