Though I am more enamored with mountainous terrain than lowlands, we will be exploring the State of Mississippi over the next week. We have traveled through the State on occasion but have not visited its refuges and parks (with the exception of the Mississippi Sandhill Crane NWR).
While outsiders may not associate Mississippi with nature preserves, it has at least 17 National Wildlife Refuges by my count; that is far more than most States, including some large Western States that are renowned for their tracts of wilderness. Over the next week, we hope to visit a few of them in addition to some wildlife management areas and State Parks.
In light of the recent outbreaks of severe weather across the Deep South, our travel within the State will be more spontaneous than planned. We'll go where we can when it is safe to proceed. Details to follow.
