Davis Lake and Owl Creek Mounds, Tombigbee National Forest, Mississippi

 Just off the Natchez Trace we camped at Davis Lake Recreation Area. We found the perfect camping spot next to the boat launch on a bluff with no other campsites within view. A thunderstorm rolled through right after we got the visor canopy up so we were able to stay dry and watch the lightening show across the lake.  It was our first night that we barbequed this trip and the steaks were grilled to perfection. It rained all night but stopped for us to get packed up at daylight. We took our coffee down the road and roamed around the Owl Creek Mound Park before heading south on the Natchez Trace.
