Thank you, I enjoyed that. It's always nice to learn something about our members back yards. My first memory of the Mississippi was when I was given a book, 'Tom Sawyer' in 1951. I still have that very same book and I've read it countless times, so much so I could almost quote it word for word. It's a good book although it's showing its age like I am but I treasure it because it fueled my childhood imagination. I think I'm still in love with Becky Thatcher.

Thanks Attala
On my journey from Monroe LA to Jackson airport I saw a "river", almost stopped breathing when I realised it was the Mississippi River; my spine was tingling. Surely was one of the highlights of my trip to the USA
Oh, do you have that "accent" too?

oh yes...a very thick accent or so my northern friends tell me. lol everybody talks like that in the south so i dont notice it. I have to cross the Mississippi going to other states sometimes and it is always scary going over the bridge.

My driver (my friend) is a bridge inspector with the LA DOT so I guess if she drove over the bridge then it was ok. I don't actually recall that bridge I was too excited about the River to notice.
