4-10 and 4-11 Coal Bluff State Park, Miss.

Once again, a quiet, almost-deserted state park campground. The recent rain caused high water in the river; we saw swollen creeks all the way across Alabama and Mississippi. The current was running too fast in the river to consider canoeing, so Sunday, after finding an online Mass in the morning, we drove upriver a few miles and launched the canoe to paddle back to the campground. Per the GPS we were making between 2 and 3 knots even without paddling. I rode the bike 10 miles to fetch the car, the first ride in a while. Enjoyed it. Gracie liked the canoe ride well enough, and while long car rides are not her favorite thing, she's adjusting well. And she doesn't get carsick.
