Bamboo Forest In The Park

Last week, my daughter, Theresa, and I checked out the bamboo forest in the Vicksburg National Military Park. I love the bamboo, which is located near the Louisiana Memorial. It is so magical walking through it. Unfortunately, we recently had one-digit temps, and most of the leaves on the bamboo trees died and covered the grounds.
