State #8 of the 16 State GeoAdventure

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...

  1. 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!
