First trip down to Florida then along the Gulf coast to New Orleans. Head back toward home using Natchez Trace Pkwy and stops along the way to visit friends in KY and TN. Second trip will be around Lake Superior - fantastic scenery and back through Canada. Other trips TBD.
We just completed a similar trip this past Oct/Nov. Left St. Louis to Pickwick Tailwater Campground for a night then down to Florala SP. Next was St. Andrews SP and then on to Destin FamCamp. Crossed Mobile Bay by ferry and on to Davis Bayou and then Buccaneer SP. Fontainebleau SP and Palmetto Island SP were pretty much it before heading home via the Natchez SP and the Trace. Palmetto Island SP was the best and second only to Davis Bayou.
But leaving the south and heading to Natchez on US 61 is Mammy's Cupboard. This is a must stop for a meal. Best homemade lunch in the area. I had the roast beef plate. Words can't describe it. Outta site!!!!
The Trace is a nice relaxing drive. Enjoy!
