Today, April 22, I am headed to the Buffalo National River in Arkansas. I purchased a National parks camping guide yesterday and am happy I did. I would have never found out about many of the places listed using google maps searching for spots.
Mississippi is just as lush as Alabama. Both states have a red/orange tint to some of their dirt, which is cool. Among the Mississipi grass is a red flower or weed that makes the views distinct.
The Natchez parkway was neat and I completed about 70 miles of it. I stayed at Jeff Busby camping area. Went on a short 1-2 mile hike up "Little Mountain". The camping was free. So far I have not paid for lodging, which is a goal for the trip. I met a man from Australia on his way back with his wife from Mexico (4 week trip). I also met Ian, the camp host, and he was a cool guy to talk to. He gave me some information and what else to look out for among the parkway.
What is a camp host? Is the camp host a person in charge of the camp? Is he paid? What a job!
ReplyDeleteVolunteer. I was asking him about it. It seemed cool. He is basically in charge.
