The fall colors continued along the Natchez Trace in the misting rain most of the day. We got off the trace when it started to turn west and we headed to Hattiesburg intending to stop at a state park along the way. The campground was crowded so we decided to press on to another Harvest Host brewery at Fort Bayou in Ocean Springs. We were directed to park along the grassy plot in the back storage lot next to another camping trailer. The outdoor pavilion surrounded by the koi pond was the perfect spot for enjoying our growler full of the local amber ale. The crowd stayed inside at the bar and game room and we indulged in pulled pork nachos, Cajun shrimp and grits and their specialty pasta with barbequed shrimp, sausage in a roasted pepper sauce with mushrooms along with garlic toast in the pleasant outdoor dining. A camper van and motor coach towing a car rounded out the overnight guests. It was a quiet evening as Friday night was their costume party and Rocky Horror Picture Show night so glad we missed that. We enjoyed the week of seeing the fall colors and dodging the crowds and look forward to visiting more Harvest Host locations.
