This morning we headed south to Natchez hoping to see some antebellum plantations ... didn't work out. All had tours other than Sunday. We did stop at the Winson Ruins, a 21,ooo acre plantation that was abandoned after the Civil War. Not much to see for the time spent off the main roads to find it. Other plantations were all closed so we pressed on the Natchez. Beautiful city of very lovely homes ... went to Longwood and Stanton Hall ... both were open and you could tour them for a $12 fee each ... we passed. They would not even let us LOOK at Longview unless you paid! Check them out on the web ... www.stantonhall.com and www.natchezpilgrimage.com. We did stop at the historic Jefferson College, first institute of higher learning in Mississippi.It was very impressive ... interesting and informative. You can check them out at: www.mdah.state.ms.us.
We did the driving tour of historic spots in Natchez and came away wishing we had stayed there and drove up to Vicksburg to visit the battlefield. There was SO much to do in Natchez.
Tomorrow we jump on the Natchez Trace (we drove part of it today while headed to Natchez) and head north. We should be stopping somewhere north of Tupelo, MS.
Hopefully, we have solved the problem with our Brake Buddy. The fuze was fried.
Dinner was brats w/onions and salad and we spent the evening watching TV.
