Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama - Where next?

May 11, 2015 - Lake Guntersville, AL - Heading North and East once more.  Traveled across Central and East Texas after leaving Davis Mountains where we were chased out by wild Javelina






Did some birding at South Llano River State Park (great bird blinds!)  Saw plenty of Painted Buntings, Indigo Buntings, Bells Vireo, Black Capped Vireo and Summer Tanagers and Armadillos





Stayed at Guadalupe State park, sat in the Guadalupe river under some Baldcypress:





Next on to Lake Livingston, North of Houston then across the state of Louisiana and to Natchez State Park in southern Mississippi.  Woke up and drove most of the Old Natchez Trace. 

If you aren't in a hurry, this is an awesome find! History, history, history. President Jefferson in 1800 decided we (as a nation) needed to be better connected between the east coast and the growing Westward expansion, so he decided to ' enhance' some Indian trails for better Postal service and the Natchez trace was granted a little more. Civil engineering. What a great call. This is such a peaceful passageway. 






And now we're playing on the shores of Lake Guntersville in Northeast Alabama getting closer to the Blueridge Parkway.
