Scenes Near Our Waterfront

Ride a crooked rail - You have to passed over railroad tracks to go beyond the flood walls to the Yazoo River Diversion Canal.  The impressive Yazoo & Mississippi Valley RR Station depot is to the right.

An Egret looking for food at the edge of the waterfront.

Sweet Olive moored at the waterfront.  It's our tour boat on the canal and MS River.  Note the Egret.

Horizon Casino boat moored in it's cofferdam.

Another Egret making it's way searching for food.  My husband, Bob, took both pictures of the Egrets for me since I was driving and stayed in our truck and zoomed in.  Turned out pretty good!

Took this picture of Catfish Row and where the Farmers' Market is held on Wednesday and Saturday's near the old train depot as we were leaving the waterfront.  If you are ever in Vicksburg, come down to the waterfront and check out our beautiful murals on the flood wall.  You will be very impressed!

Took this picture of a gazebo going up the hill on Clay Street yesterday towards Washington Street, the main artery of downtown Vicksburg.  It looks somewhat crooked to me!
