We enjoyed our time at Tupelo. The RV park was quiet and pleasant.
Bird feeders were placed throughout the park and we enjoyed watching the activity at them. This finch was a frequent flyer.
This was one of two male cardinals that were vying for the attention of a female.
The park was less than a mile away from the beautiful and historic Natchez Trace.
This rather plain looking spot was the site of the Chickasaw village of Pontotock. A nearby county and its seat continue to bear the name. When the Chickasaws were forced off the land, they carried the name with them to Oklahoma where Pontotoc County lies in what was once Chickasaw Tribal land.
The food we enjoyed while we were here was also outstanding. These catfish were delicious,
as were these hush puppies,
which we enjoyed at the historic Catfish Hotel on the banks of the Tennessee River near Shiloh. Note the barge passing outside.
But, all good things must come to an end, so it was on to a considerably less esthetic setting in Decatur, Alabama, near Winston County where Ted's great-great-grandfather had received a land grant.
