We had three riverboats moored in the Yazoo Diversion Canal today. American Queen was at the gravel pit for her passengers to tour our historic town of Vicksburg, MS. (I did not get a picture of her this time). Also, I had never seen two riverboats moored so close together, and I took several pictures of American Splendor and American Heritage. Someone is fishing off the tailgate of his truck on a sharp incline. I hope he gets lucky! (River Stage 37.91 feet, Change -0.74 feet, Flood Stage 43 feet)
Tour Guide, Myra Logue said this about tourism in Vicksburg - People are pouring into this area on the Riverboats. With the American Queen Steamboats, for instance, Vicksburg is the most popular shore tour, and there have been many awards won by AQV for their tours. Soon the Viking will be coming to Vicksburg!! Business seems to be booming!!
A comment was made by Debra Crist Cape on Vicksburg, MS, FB site. - I am not jealous of the visitors to our city. I am jealous of the gentleman fishing in the back of the truck, that is relaxing.
