Group: 17

(Mississippi, Arkansas, Western Tennessee)

Visited from Mar 30, 2023 to Apr 16, 2023 in Trip 8

This group will make a nice springtime trip, before the temperatures get "southern hot".

It became a bit longer than originally planned as it picked up three sites that I had included on trip 3 but had skipped due to my leg and back issues.

The fourteen sites in this group include all remaining sites in Arkansas and Mississippi, the previously skipped Gulf Islands National Seashore, and the Shiloh battlefield.
