Natchez Mississippi the Town and Camp




The river is really moving carrying logs and flooding over the banks

Building levees in a hurry to protect the historic section





Having a beer in a 200 year saloon



Local patrons are true southerners...still a little of pre-civil war attitude still exists


Must stop and have a beer..the coldest around



A little southern barbacue is always good.

The have nots ? Appears to be remains of years past home..historical.


One of many beautiful pre civil war homes




A true camp girl !


Love our kayak





Don't ask me how many fish I caught


I did not kiss the pig but I may have eaten it ?

This is the photographer and his family. He documented the Natchez beautifully.

Church where the photo gallery is located








The city of Natchez located on the Mississippi river has a very rich history in the development of America in the early 1800's. Fortunately the town was spared devastation from the civil war. Many of the homes are still beautiful. The town is a nice stop along the way. A must see is the photo gallery of Natchez with the people from the early days. Best photos I have ever seen. The photographer  preserved the photos of the people beautifully dressed. 4-5 decades of photos with detailed description of who they were and what did.  The homes, families and the river boats / steamboats and the town itself are all covered. We camped in the local state park . Another beautiful forest  with a  mountain type lake. This area is also very much linked to the home of the blues and and jazz music.

Natchez is the beginning of the best road and most beautiful in America. If your ever in Miss, Alabama or Kentucky go for a ride. Is is 441 miles long through a forest...amazing. Check out on interent.
