APRIL 20
Big Red and me fumbled out of Laurel in the fog late, around 7:45.
Bible in the bathroom yesterday, ten commandments at the gate of Eden today.
I took a small country road just for the adventure. I had to stop for this crossing.
I rode through a few small towns including Magee, which was the largest. The smell from the Magee Bakery made me stop for a coffee and a bite. It is run by Charles Koeahn and his three children, Andrew, Rubin and Becky. The place was busy with people coming and going the whole time I was there. Becky said they had 138 sales between 6:00 and about 8:30 when I had come in. It was wildly successful, but they are selling it to devote full attention to his main business of utility directional drilling.
This little house is for sale in the big city of Crystal Springs, MS.
We arrived in Vicksburg around noon and checked into the Corners Mansion B&B. Macy and Joe were there to welcome me and gave me the library room.
After a little cleaning up, I made a bee line for the National Park Cemetery. Not to see the dead people, I will do that tomorrow but to get my Lifetime Pass to the National Park System. For $10 I can now get in every National Park for the rest of my life! They tried to cancel this program last year and there was such a uproar they changed their mind. I wanted mine before they cancel the program for real.
Then it was off to look at the flooding. The city sits up on a bluff and the only things down along the river are casinos and river related business. And the old train station. The casinos are only on the river because "theoretically" they are floating casinos. By some weird reasoning that makes them acceptable.
This concrete barrier.........
...is holding back this......
These vehicles have been sitting here forever. They were last licensed in 1975.
