Tombigbee State Park, Mississippi

Google wanted to send us home from Lillian via I-65 to Montgomery, etc.  That seemed like quite a backhaul.  It probably made sense at the speed limit of 70 MPH, but as we have mentioned, we like traveling in the low 60s for better mileage.  So we took US 45 from Mobile all the way through Mississippi and Tennessee.  It was four lanes most of the way.  The Mississippi portion was fantastic.  Great pavement and very little traffic.  Tennessee was not as great but was acceptable.  If we did it again, we'd look at US 78 from Tupelo to I-55/57.

We overnighted at Tombigbee SP near Tupelo.  What a gem!  It had a small campground, full hookups for $20. We probably missed the ideal time of year to visit by a couple or three weeks.  There were still some fall colors but it was about over.  Can you tell which one of the five photos came from Terry's camera?  I can.
