Florida Spring Training 2018 - Day 63

It was very cold last night, the coldest of the trip so far.  When we got up this morning it was 31 degrees outside and our water hose from the outside spigot to the RV was frozen.  We still had our internal water supply however.  The weather is clear and no wind and its supposed to be warmer today (we think, as we have no real-time access to the outside world at the moment).

Our first stop on the Natchez Trace Parkway was the grave site and memorial to Meriwether Lewis who died on the Trace in 1809 on his way to Washington DC.  The small visitors' center is in a replica of the cabin where Lewis died.  We also saw a segment of the original pathway of the Old Trace that goes through the grave and memorial site.

As we travelled down the parkway we stopped at numerous historical spots and other parts of the Old Trace along the way.  It was all very interesting and informative.  The parkway was almost deserted and we had the 2-lane road to ourselves  except for the occasional bicyclist, RV and car.  The day remained cool with mostly cloudy skies. The trees and bushes are just starting to blossom out as spring approaches.

We arrived at our stop for the next two nights in Tupelo, MS. The park is just off of the parkway and very near the main Parkway Visitors Center.  After getting set-up and resting for awhile, we had dinner at a local BBQ restaurant that was very good.

The plan for tomorrow is to check out the visitors center, do some more exploring of the local area and see what else develops.  The weather seems warmer, but still cool with a forecast of sunny skies and temperatures in the 60s for the next two days.
