Day 15 & 16: Natchez Trace

Yesterday we spent in the small town of Kosciusko so Jen could rest her shin splints. She was able to talk to a physical therapist and find out how to recover.... In fact, Chris is massaging her shin right now :) Chris took advantage of the day off by going on a run through town, while Jen did stretches and walked backwards around the campsite (doctor's orders!).

Today we woke up and shopped for groceries and some other supplies before hitting the road for a short day. One of the things we bought today is a new tarp! We will be using it for cooking and eating if it is rainy. We are excited to have it for our next rainy breakfast or dinner (probably tomorrow).

As a side note, the funny thing about Walmart is that it has gone from our least favorite store to a beacon of civilization on the southern horizon... We know it will be consistent wherever we go, and we can buy tarps and cheese in one shot.
