Overnight stop
at Vicksburg, Ms.
Sometimes when
you are moving down the road to get to another destination you just
want to park the motorhome, do a minimal setup and just relax and do
nothing. We actually were going to do just that today at our stop in
Vicksburg, Ms.
We stopped at
one of the Cassino RV parks because the rates were low, and the RV
park was just off I-20. It looked like just the place to kick back
and recover from our day's drive.
In fact, we
were already in the process of doing exactly nothing,
when somehow I
remembered that Vicksburg is a very old city and has a lot of history
associated with it. So I suggested to Jo that maybe we should at
least drive through town and have a quick look.
Cameras in hand we
set off at about 4:30 pm. At 7:00 we arrived back at the motorhome
with over 100 shots between us of this fascinating city and
its surroundings.
Vicksburg sits alongside the Mississippi river and indeed has a very rich history, especially from the civil war times. The city itself is a contrast between old and new. We saw some of the most interesting architecture with many of the very old buildings sitting alongside brand new modern ones.
These are some
of the scenes we almost missed today.
