State #8
We traveled across Mississippi from west to east, spending Sunday and Monday nights in different communities.
Delta Riverboat Welcome Center
Leland MS, birthplace of Kermit the Frog
and boyhood home of Jim Henson
museum was closed
HUGE Dollar General Warehouse
started in 1955 in Springfield KY
farmland near the river valley
one of many fish farms
catfish? black bass?
Hubby was worried about fuel prices because of Hurricane Matthew
cheaper than at home
many fuel stations sold chicken & seafood...interesting
large bales of cotton
large roadside cross
These photos were taken driving from Arkansas to the Mississippi border.
more of those country Baptist (and other denominations) churches
the only fall color along our drive through the southern states
cotton fields
bayous instead of rivers & creeks
the bridge crossing from AR to MS
the Mighty Mississippi
And from earlier in the trip...I think from a cemetery in Oklahoma...
chigger bites on my legs, ankles and my jawline
the detriment of wearing capris and sandals
and getting down in the grass
I remember when Hubby got them in Montana
and how miserable he was, but he laid in the grass
his bites were in 'more' places
State #9 next...
Chigger bites? Have not heard of those little critters?!?! Good thing you did not lie in the grass. Have not been to Mississippi either, will have to put those states on our bucket list. Wow, the mighty Mississippi!
