Mississippi

I have been in Mississippi a few times.

The first time we were going to New Orleans from Gulf Shores and traveled on I-10. On the return trip, we did a great deal of US 90 checking out the beaches.

The second time, we entered from Alabama on US 82 and then headed up I-55 to Memphis. We stayed in Batesville.

The next time, I was in Tuscaloosa and took a day trip down I-59 to Hattiesburg (where I ate lunch) and then returned to Alabama on route 42, checking out the DeSoto National Forest.

In 2006, I was returning from Texas and entered Mississippi from the south on I-55. I then turned west on US 98 & 84 to Natchez, where I spent a couple of hours touring the area and photographing the river. I then headed up the Natchez Trace to Vicksburg where I spent the night. The next day I toured Jackson and then headed toward Tuscaloosa on I-20.

In 2009 and 2010 I will drive through again on myn way to Tuscaloosa. I plan to come across from Vicksburg in 2009 and come down from Memphis in 2010.
