Happy 4th of July!

Hope everyone had a great day, and that everyone stayed safe.  I drove from Dallas to Vicksburg, MS today.  I was hoping to get to Vicksburg in time for a tour tonight, but by the time I got there, I was about half an hour to late for a tour.  So I scheduled a tour for tomorrow, and then walked around the Visitors’ Center, watched the intro video, and took a few pictures.  I’ll have more to talk about tomorrow, I’m sure.  I also got two pictures of the Red River in Shreveport, LA, one showing a riverboat.

At Vicksburg, I took a couple pictures of the various cannon used during the campaign, and pictures dedicated to the troops who fought on both sides.  I think you can make out in the pictures the states that were represented in the armies.

Two views of the cannon:

Sorry, lighting is less than ideal, but I think you’ll get the idea!  Enjoy the fireworks, everyone!
