No poppies down here, but we see them on satellite TV on CBC news.
We make an early start as we have a longer drive to Natchez today. We get away by 8:10 AM.
The day starts cool again but warms up nicely to 21C / 70 F, and totally clear skies. We spot four deer along the side of the road as we leave the park, and head back onto the Trace.
This is the first day we spot wildlife on the parkway, as three wild turkeys cross the road in front of us.
Somewhere around Jackson, we notice that the trees are greener and have lost fewer leaves than in Tupelo, just 150 miles away. We know we are in the south now as we have spotted a tree with Spanish Moss hanging from it.
We pull into Natchez State Park about 2:00 PM, lots of time to get settled in. Too bad there are trees in our view of the Shaw Direct satellite. No TV tonight. Camping fee $18 but not as nice a campground as Trace State Park.
