Jackson MS

Beautiful day today with blue skies and temperatures in the mid 60's. We went to downtown Jackson to the visitor center. We got there before they opened so we stopped at a nearby restaurant for breakfast. We picked up information on Jackson and the area at the visitor center. As long as we were downtown we decided to do the Walking Tour of Historic Jackson. The route takes you past many of the older buildings downtown including several churches, the old capital and the new capitol. Twenty seven sites in all and was about 18 blocks long.We went inside the new capital and got a private tour.

We needed to move the camper to another site today so we wanted to be back to the campground by early afternoon. Before we did that we went to the nearby Camping World to return a bike cover we purchased at the Saukville Camping World. 

Back at the campground we moved the camper over to our new site. We spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing, reading and watching the fisherman on the lake. We talked to one of the park employees and he suggested a walking path around the lake which we enjoyed.

Tomorrow we plan to go to the Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Museum which is just across the street from the campground.
