Rankin County

After a cold, wet, windy four hour drive we arrived Wednesday afternoon at Diamond Jack's Casino RV Park in Bossier City, Louisiana. We had a late lunch at Crawdaddie's Kitchen in Shreveport. Delicious fish, oysters, hush puppies and crayfish cornbread. https://crawdaddyskitchen.com/
After many checks of the weather, traffic cams and calls to our next destination we decided to head to Brandon, Mississippi on Thursday as planned, despite flood warnings. We traveled over swollen rivers and bayous before arriving at Timberlake Campground located on the shores of Barnett Reservoir. https://www.therez.ms.gov/Pages/Timberlake.aspx
Friday we visited the Mississippi Museum of Civil Rights https://mcrm.mdah.ms.gov/galleries/galleries and the Museum of Mississippi History. Both museums were very informative and well curated. Next we headed to Mississippi's State Capitol Building...beautiful and majestic. http://www.legislature.ms.gov/about-the-capitol
Today we shopped the Mississippi Farmer's Market in Jackson https://www.mdac.ms.gov/bureaus-departments/far… then toured the Mississippi Museum of Art. https://www.msmuseumart.org/index.php/
It's a good thing we're starting our mornings with kale/spinich/fruit smoothies because we're loving the blue plate specials here in the south.
We've really enjoyed our stay near Jackson. Friendly people, good food, lots of history.
Tomorrow we travel southeast for two nights in Mobile.Meer informatie
