I stopped at the Civil War Interpretive Center in Corinth yesterday (a post is forthcoming on that visit). Last night I stayed at this beautiful State Park in Mississippi – the Natchez Trace Parkway runs through it – and got on the Parkway this morning.
My campsite alongside the lake at Tishomingo State Park in northeast Mississippi.
The sun had been hidden by heavy clouds all day but showed itself for a few minutes late in the evening.
I just love the “green” all around. Delightful. And easy on the eyes.

Hi, Becky,
Have you read the book Blue Highways? It's one of my favorites, and your post reminds me of it. The author drove the perimeter of the country, mostly avoiding interstates, and stopped at interesting places and met interesting people along the way.

Beautiful campsite!
So glad to see you got to visit the best part of Mississippi -- northeast Mississippi! I've stayed many times at Tishomingo State Park.
It's probably too late to say, "NO! Don't do it." Head back to Indiana, that is. It's been so dreary here that I'm losing the will to live, or at least get off the napping couch.
Anonymous Diane: Have heard of "Blue Highways" but have not read it. Have added it to my list of recommended reading!
Apple: Yes, it was beautiful. Quite restful.
Lori: Having driven through parts of northeastern Mississippi, I can see why Terry was so enamored with the place!
BlueGirl: Yep, too late. Been here a couple days. Have seen a little sunshine but mostly clouds and rain and cool temperatures. Dreary indeed. I'm lucky in that I (hopefully) won't have to stay too long though!

The ability to comment has been turned off for all blog posts effective 21 May 2018. Kinexxions has been inactive for more than two years and most comments have come to me directly via email from readers but more than a few were simply spam. My desire is to keep the blog available to the public since there is value in what has been published, particularly posts dealing with family history.
I am still extremely interested in hearing from readers who might be related and have questions or simply want contact with a distant cousin. Please contact me directly via email at kinexxions@gmail.com
This action is also being taken partially due to the General Data Protection Regulation aka "GDPR" going into effect on 25 May 2018. Even though it is a regulation implemented by the European Union that primarily affects businesses and corporations, it governs how data about people can be used. That includes comments left on blog posts, thus the ability to comment is no longer available.
