What October feels like
October asks the least of you of any month here, and the whole state seems to run a festival. Leaf color peaks late around town, well after the mountains, and the Natchez Trace on a weekday is about as good as driving gets.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
