Another day on the road. Pulled out of Memphis around 8:30, disappointed we didn't see Elvis. Oh well, we bought a CD. Got off the main highway and onto a secondary road heading south. Miles and miles and miles of agricultural land ( a lot of it was being worked with those ugly green tractors) being used for cash crops and cotton. A lot of irrigation and huge fields. The traffic was light, weather up to 20 degrees. We crossed the Mississippi at Greenville, Miss and travelled into Arkansas - more fields of crops. We were only in Arkansas for about 20 miles and then we crossed the border into Louisiana - at least we can say we were to Arkansas. After an hour in Louisiana we crossed back over the mighty Mississippi and into Vickersburg, Miss. There are a lot of huge barges going up and down the river. We have finally hit spring as there are blossoms on most of the trees, it is warm and the grass is green. The magnolia trees are in full bloom and they are gorgeous. We are staying in the Ameristar Casino RV camp ground for $20 a night and that includes a buffet breakfast. We took a RV tour of the Historic part of Vicksburg and there are some beautiful homes and shops and cobblestone streets. Walked over to the Casino for dinner, music and dancing but only succeeded with the first one - dinner. The music wasn't starting until 9 and that was longer then we wanted to spend at the Casino listening to the bells and whistles. Supposed to be a big rain and thunderstorm tonight.
