12/7-12/19 Nakitosh Campground, Nachitoches, LA

Wow, this is a fun place.  The town is pronounced Nackatish, just so you know!

One part of downtown

We toured the historic downtown and the beautiful Bascilica, which is still used.  The house where they filmed "Steel Magnolias" is here, and many other beautiful homes

We toured the Oakland Plantation, which is on the Cane River, and part of the Cane River Creole National Park.  What a beautiful place.  There was no one else there, so the ranger gave us a  personal tour of the place. What a different kind of life that must have been.
