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

... the track that seats 40,000 additional spectators. The superspeedway is the largest and fastest track in the U.S. for N ASCAR is was a very interesting tour and a must see if you visit the area.

Today we arrived in Vicksburg Mississippi along the Mississippi River. We are staying overnight at the Ameristar Casino RV Park before we head to Texas tomorrow. We drove the car over to the casino and had their buffet for dinner. I was one of the better buffets we've ...

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 ...

This goes along with the last entry, so sorry. I get confused with sequencing things. I stayed at Liz's and it was great, she was great. Continued in the morning onward to hit Natchez by evening. I pass a few power plants, there is a chemical smell in the air, though I am consciously looking for it because I read an artical on the area known as Cancer Alley. I don;t know if this is it, but the area produces a ...

... 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 ...

Well it has been several days since I updated this blog. From Boone NC we came down to Chattnooga just in time to miss the snow. It turned cold just as we were leaving, but we were so awe struck by the color on the side of the mountians that we did not care. We worked over our itenary because we miss judged the distance between stops. We ...

... our ride. I have never had my picture taken so much in my life! Every time a support vehicle stops on the side of the road, someone is taking our picture! The media is taking our picture at every stop as well. It is very good for my ego to have so many people interested in what I have to say and what we are doing. we are staying in very nice hotels, so I hope to be able to blog every day.

... one dollar into five. Of course, a few more pulls of the lever and these winnings quickly evaporated, but it felt good while it lasted. In the morning, we headed up the hill and across the road to the Biedenheim Coca-Cola Memorabelia Museum. The Biedenheims ran a "candy store" in the building and one of their main attractions at the time (late 1800s) was a "soda fountain" where sugary syrups were mixed with cold - carbonated or flat ...

On our way to New Orleans we decided to take a detour and tour the Vicksburg National Military Park. Nice, crisp morning awaited us as we drove through the park viewing the various hills, trenches, strategic plans of both the Union and the Confederacy. After fighting and a lengthy siege, the Union took control of Vicksburg, thus, taking control of the Mississippi River. It was a major victory for the Union. The majority of soldiers ...
