Still Along the Mississippi

Out of Memphis we didn’t go far to Tunica, MS, and Holiday Casino.  Once more on the river.  There are several casinos in Tunica and we did more than one and had a couple of buffets.  Our usual, play about 5 bucks in the nickel or penny slots and have an early meal and get home before dark.  Ah what an adventurous life.  Holiday had a pretty nice RV park, a place to walk along the levee, and lots of crickets in the grass for Jade to catch.  I think maybe she kind of lost her taste for them though.  Maybe she just over did it?  Not sure?  Anyway it was an OK place for a few nights. 
Mississippi is pretty nice.  Haley Barber has done a great job it seems.  The Governor.  He really broke into the picture right after Katrina in comparison to Ray Nagan and Mary Landreu from Louisiana.  I guess making them look like idiots was easy but he really has done good things in Mississippi from what we see.  Clean highways, state parks and rest areas for sure.  I think I just saw that he was thinking of running for President in 2012 .  Just a heads up!  It’s early, but it wouldn’t bother me.  Our last stop on the river was at Greensville, MS, and Warfield park.  A nice little spot right on the main channel to watch the barges go by.  I’m going to miss ‘That Ol’ Man River’.   Sometime will have to do some more of it.  And I still have not been to Vicksburg.
