I STAYED AT THE HOLIDAY INN, EXPRESS ON SOUTH FRONTAGE ROAD WHEN I WAS IN VICKSBURG.

THIS WAS THE CLEANEST AND MOST PROFESSIONAL ATMOSPHERE, AND HAD A GREAT STAFF.

THE ROOMS ARE VERY COMFORTABLE. VERY HELPFUL STAFF AND THEY HAVE A BUSINESS CENTER, EXERCISE ROOM AND A VERY CLEAN AND EXCELLENT BREAKFAST AREA.

On monday morning we got up early and toured the Vicksburg Military park, depicting a batttle for the Mississippi during the Civil war. there were lots of memorial stautues and a museum. In the afternoon we stoped in Indianola seeing the museum about BB King, continuing on to Clarksdale Ms seing the delta blues museum where muddy waters and other blues players had lived in the area

... our goodbyes to Tad, Laura and Haley and headed out in the RV to Taledaga Alabama. We stayed at Logan Landing RV Park and Resort, a lake front RV park about 30 minutes off the interstate in the back country of Alabama. Since we were only 30 minutes from the world famous Taledaga Superspeedway and Motorsports Hall of Fame, we decided to spent the day touring both facilities. Taledaga has a grandstand that seats 144,000 people plus a smaller stand on the opposite side ...

So far an uneventful, though characteristically tardy start. Supposed to leave from the South Dallas office, but Michelle was waiting to pick me up at the Ric******* office. For those not in Dallas, that's about a 20 mile difference that takes an hour to drive at 5:00.

We left at 6:30, had fewer than usual potty breaks, given all four girls were awake. We got to listen to the High ...

... of synthetic chemicals proportionately over the rest of the country. Go Figure! So I bike the 75 miles or so between Vicksburg and Natchez in 8 hours. I would say thats making steam. I run across two bicycling young ladies headed to Nashville from Naw'lins. [names to be added] I wanted to persuaded them to come with me, but I mean, come on... So I am hitting the wall by the time MM 15 comes up, and worse ...

... Suites. The Internet connector was broken (has happened to us before), so I was unable to upload photos or the blog. Vicksburg has some interesting sights and a number of casinos for gamblers. We've visited Vicksburg before, so we are just here for the bed and a shower in the morning. Travel Tips: If an Internet connection is important to ...

... that we could easily make it to Vicksburg in one day, so we changed the reservations. We were in four states today. I bet you can't guess the fourth one??? The Hampton Inn here in Vicksburg is better than most. We decided that it is for the folks comming to see the battlefields. They are right next door...... I will try to up load a few photos.

We rode on the Long Leaf trail today. It was a historic rail line that is now a 40 mile bike trail. We were able to ride without any traffic to deal with and this trail is a very beautiful place. then we rode another 53 miles into Jackson, Mississippi where we had a meet and greet at the United Blood Services. There were only a few people, but the radio, tv and newspaper people were ...

... Still, the farmland is a glorious site in itself: field upon field full of corn, wheat or cotton; the broad, blue sky stretching out above us with just a small, tasteful scattering of fluffy white clouds; and the occasional exciting sighting of a crop-dusting plane, drawing dangerous patterns in the air. We arrived at Vicksburg at the end of the afternoon and followed the visitor centre's recommendation of a bargain place to stay: the ...

... and guns. It was an amazing sight. We spent the afternoon in a park by the Mississipi and then watched Tom Cruise in "War of the Worlds" - but hey, it was Saturday afternnon and we'd worked hard at being tourists all week! In the evening we toured Vicksburg for a decent restuarant and failed but went back to the Mexican and had a shared meal that would easily have fed 4 people for £8. More margaritas which were perfect ...
