Today's drive of 192.4 miles (95,781.0 total) landed us for the first time in the state of Mississippi. Our reservations in LeFleur's Bluff State Park put us very near the heart of the capital city, Jackson. My first impressions were positive. The roads were well paved and Jackson seemed to be very easy to navigate without a lot of traffic.
The campground was such a surprise. We were surrounded by woods and water. It was a mile from the check-in gate to our site along a winding road that was nearly covered by leaves and surrounded by Mayes Lake. It was easy to forget we were in the middle of the state's capital.
The lake level was high and the grounds were still a bit muddy after recent rains. Clearly, the park had experienced flooding in the past, hence, the bathhouse built 12 feet above the ground.
Most every morning the calm lake afforded us mirror-like views of the fall colors.
