Rex checking out my deer camp at Jasper Bottom Hunting Club in Claiborne County next to the Big Black River. We had so much fun exploring the terrain of my hunting territory and wishing our blogger friends, Othmar, GuyK, Norm, jon, Gunslingergirl and jannos were with us.
At the U.S.S. Cairo Museum.
We toured the Vicksburg National Military Park and made a stop at the Illinois State Memorial. This monument has 47 steps, one for every day Vicksburg was besieged. The eagle on top was taken down in April 1996 and re-gilded by artisans. The gold leaf will last for approximately 75 years.
Rex trying to reach his dog "CAMO" (quack quack) on the telephone to see if she's alright, as we toured The Biedenharn Coca-Cola Museum where coke was first bottled in 1894, in my hometown of Vicksburg.
They are at the Mississippi Tourist Welcome Center viewing the bridges and the mighty Mississippi River .
After Rex and Denise arrived in Vicksburg from Water Valley, MS, we took them out to eat at Goldie's Trail Bar-B-Que Family Restaurant. The barbecue ribs, etc., was out of this world. This restaurant has been featured in the Southern Living Magazine for their delicious true-pit barbecue. If you ever visit Vicksburg you have to go to Goldie's and check it out. You want regret it!
