The rain has moderated, but it is still with us. We thought we'd be seeing a few showers, but it has rained lightly just about all morning and a good part of the afternoon. Still, it is less rain than we had seen the past couple of days, so at least that is a positive sign. It's looking as though starting tomorrow we'll have fair weather until Saturday, and then we'll have thundershowers for a few days.

Just when we thought all the glampers had fled seeking the sun, a large entourage passed one of our leapfrog points. We caught up with them a little farther down the road, along the Pearl River. It turned out that it was a group from Quebec (which also included a van conversion and a pickup truck camper, so they weren't all glampers) that was traveling together. They were quite the group, swamping the parking areas at points of interest along the trace and stopping traffic in both directions in order to allow their members to get lined up before heading to their next destination.

A short distance down the road I stopped to walk Lana on a cypress swamp nature trail, only to get completely hemmed in by them for about 15 minutes. As a result, Alea arrived at our final rendezvous point before me, though not by much.

And as luck would have it, at our rendezvous point we were overtaken by them once again while we were loading Alea's bike into the van. We waited quite a while as they attempted to get all of their members lined up on Hwy 43, which happened to be the road to our campground...
So we are at Goshen Springs Campground ($24, full hook-ups and showers), situated on the east shore of Ross Barnett Reservoir north of Jackson, MS.
