We stopped mid-morning at The Rocky Springs campground, where we had planned to stay last night. It was the last source of water on the trace before our evening stop (about 50 miles). A very nice man working there gave us two bottles of ice-cold water. It was very welcome!
We did learn that folks in Mississippi must really love their tractors and hay because they take them out for recreation. Since they were on the Trace, we know it was recreational hauling!
The highlight of the day was seeing a heron rookery outside of Clinton. The
photo doesn't really show them but we saw several pairs of great blue heron and at least one pair of yellow-crowned night heron.
We made it in to our accommodations at the Hyatt about 6 pm. Tomorrow night we camp and finally use all that gear we have been hauling recreationally.
