Mississippi today

Vicksburg, MS
Magnolia RV Park

Bill drove the entire day but for some reason I'm really tired tonight.  I think you are so busy during a rally you don't realize how tired you are until it's over. 

We took the back roads to Pine Bluff and then crossed over into Mississippi in Greenville.  

No matter how many times we cross the Mississippi River it's always the same feeling.  Now we are in the East.  

I did learn a few facts about the US 82 Bridge in Greenville. It is the third longest cable-stayed bridge in the United States.

I found these facts at the welcome center.  I would have felt more welcome if they had a sign directing you to a RV parking area instead of having to guess which entrance to take.

It was a beautiful building but the grounds looked like they had been neglected.

There was a free museum on the upper floor.

I learned a few things about the area.

Delta music began in Leland where musicians played for people that stopped for dinner on the Memphis to New Orleans train.

Now I know where Kermit the Frog was born. 

Stein Mart clothing began in Greenville in 1905.

We visited Onward on our last visit to the area to see where the "Teddy Bear" story began many years ago.  

Lee and Loralie told us many years about the Onward Restaurant.  We actually ate there about 8 or 9 years ago.  I must say they have put some money in the place because it doesn't look the same.  I was tired or we would have stopped to see if they still had the hanging fly catchers everywhere.  There were cars in the parking lot.

Bill and I are headed to Avon Park, Florida to visit his best friend. We've only explored the panhandle so if anyone has any ideas of places for us to see, please let us know.   Also of any RV parks along the way.
