Natchez Trace - Day 74 Continued

Exploring Cypress Swamp - Group 4 took a break and walked trough the water tupelo/bald-cypress swamp.  Eerie area.  There was a path around the swamp and two bridges over the swamp on our path.  We did not see any alligators or any animals but the mosquitos and bugs feasted on all of us.  Just part of the circle of life.

Duane walking on a log in the swamp.  Thankfully he was successful.  


On the lookout for alligators.




We journeyed off the Trace to tour the Mississippi Craft Center.  We had thought it was on the Trace since it was listed on map.  My guess is that it used to be but was relocated to its current location - just a few miles from the Trace.  The center offers demonstrations by craftsmen on weekends and has classes taught by master craftsmen throughout the year.  Certainly an interesting must see stop.
