May 28

We started walking this morning where Ruth and Carol picked us up yesterday. It was in front of Heartland Catfish, a catfish processing plant. No wonder we saw so many catfish ponds.

At about the 4 mile mark, we started to enter Greenwood, MS. Greenwood is almost surrounded by rivers. The Tallatchie River flows east and is north of Greenwood. It is joined by the Yalabusha River. At that confluence, the Yazoo River is born and flows west, south of Greenwood. And I'm not making the names of these rivers up. Both the Confederate and Union forces had gunboats on the Yazoo River during the Civil War.

There was a McDonald's ahead and we decided it was time for a break. A sweet tea for me and John had a coupon for a free Frozen Strawberry Lemonade. Yum-O.

Fortified we headed out again. In a short time we came to the Keesler Bridge over the Yazoo River. The Yazoo was up and muddy, no fishing today.

We walked 13 miles today and we are east of Greenwood, Mississippi. We found 2 sockets and $1.22 in coins. Stay tuned ....
