Old court house and museum
The Vicksburg courthouse was new during the battle and survived it relatively unscathed.
I've been enjoying unfettered access to the Internet all this morning and tallying up my trip cost so far. Well within my budget. Guess I learned a few things on my last trip.
Hopefully a cool front coming through will cool things down a bit.
Today I went to the Old Courthouse Museum in Vicksburg. It was built before the siege and survived the battle intact. It had an interesting "stair chair" which I was tempted to ride but didn't want to appear foolish. : > )
Vicksburg is kind of an interesting town and not too big or too much traffic. Am finding my way around pretty good and even went to a casino today to eat at their buffet. It was a seafood buffet and since it was all inclusive I pigged out. I toyed with the idea of going into the casino but just couldn't bring myself to do it. The casino was the least crowded of any one I have ever been in. I guess because of media reports of flooding.
The Mississippi River was only about 3 feet below the casino. I figure when the surge gets here from upriver it will Stairs and "stair chair"
No elevator but a "stair Chair". certainly be flooded.
Went by SuperWalmart on Hwy 61 just south of I-20 looking for a mosquito net and getting some groceries. No luck on finding a mosquito net.
