Natchez Trace Parkway: Day 4 - Tupelo to Mt. Locust

Elvis' Birthplace

1-24-15:  After getting pix of Elvis' birthplace in Tupelo (for Lisa) and spending the night in a hotel last night, we headed out for the remainder of our road trip.

just about the size house I'd like when we settle down

didn't go inside, just some quick pix

wonderful sky shot driving down the road

 

stopped at the Chickasaw Village Site - this would be a great place to do some walking in the Tupelo area

very educational



oops

Bynum Mounds

went through Jeff Busby Campground again since it wasn't raining

drove up Little Mountain for the view

as with all the beautiful campgrounds on the Trace, no hookups but free

how cool is this sky shot from inside the truck?
