We were soon crossing over into Mississippi. Mississippi ading out of town.seems to be mostly woods. Lots of pine trees and the deciduous trees had turned colors but still had leaves. We were seeing some crops in the fields...maybe winter wheat but there was something else we couldn't identify...looked like spinach??
Jackson Mississippi is much bigger than I remember it. There is a huge Nissan factory north of town and the place looks like it is doing quite well.
We weren't sure where we were going to stay. We ended up in Brookhaven MS at a Comfort Inn. When we pulled into the parking lot there was about a half dozen guys partying on the 2nd floor. They were having a good time. It was dark and after 6 PM when we got there and decided to walk to a place to eat. Not much around...so we ended up at a Waffle House. The food was OK but I woudn't want to see the inspection report. We decided that this was going to be the extent of our search for local color. Paul thought it was a color resembling a bad bruise.
The guys were still at it on the balcony when we got back to the motel but they quieted down...or passed out...a little while later.
