We had heavy rains for two days and today, as we toured Vicksburg it was just misty and damp all day. This is not a new park for us but we had not photographed it before when we were here 16 years ago. I did have a little film point and shoot but don’t recall any photos from here. It is a simply battle from one perspective but the lines are hard to see because of the trees and the deep cuts in the landscape. The actual siege lasted 47 days and the South’s surrender allowed the uUnion to control the Mississippi.

Cadillac Tracks - I could have predicted with my eyes closed and both hoofs behind my back that if the driver is in control we will stop and stare at stupid cannons. And this place is full of them. It upsets my delicate constitution to view these terrible things. I’m going to get a nap as we are pulling the ever present white elephant behind us.
