Yesterday, the "America" riverboat showed up at our waterfront for a half-a-day of touring our historic civil war town of Vicksburg, MS. This picture was taken from Catfish Row Children's Art Park.

Looking back towards the ENTRANCE.
"America" is a BIG riverboat!
Met an artist/banjo player from "America" by the name of Dan Knowles.
Dan was painting his art work at the waterfront and asked him if I could take a picture of them. We struck up a conversation and found out that he works for the American Queen Steamboat Company playing the banjo on the riverboats. I told him how much I enjoy coming down to our waterfront to take pictures of the riverboats and posting them on Facebook. We talked about being friends on social media and now we are! A really nice gentleman and very talented playing his banjo in a band rolling up and down the Mighty Mississippi River!
River level 47.09 feet with a change of +0.40 foot: Flood stage 43 feet. Should crest by tomorrow at 48 feet. Vicksburg: The Key To The South!
