Mississippi photos

Attached are photos from my camera.  If these get to the blog, I've found Wi-Fi.  (I loaned out my Wi-Fi antenna and forgot to get it back.  Also forgot to pack the cord to transfer photos to the phone.  Maybe a pattern developing.)  



Trains run up and down both sides of the river all the time.  Mark Twain said that's what killed the steamboat business.




We were passed by a river cruise boat........"Twilight."  It goes out overnight, making stops at several little towns along the river, and stays the night next to a gambling boat up the way.  Look at the size of the wheel in the pilothouse.






There are lots of little islands in the river.   We've seen several islands where people bring their camping gear in their boat, and stake a claim.  Unless of course, the island has already been claimed by the "locals."  All those white pelicans that vacation down in Charlotte Harbor, Florida, live here in the summer.  We've also seen several eagles.
