I did a refueling stop just south of Hattiesburg. The GPS route through Mobile was nasty, but I didn&#8217;t get lost.  The truck ran fine and the refrigerator stayed on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So other trips (besides the battleground visit) in Vicksburg:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A short trip to the Ameristar casino where, once again, I walked out a winner.  This time 10 cents to the good.  The casino was small and I didn&#8217;t like it much so it was easy to walk out with my winnings.<\/li><li>A shopping trip to Walmart.  All food this time.<\/li><li>A trip to the laundromat. I was running short of socks.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>My home for 3 nights in Vicksburg was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.magnoliarvparkresort.com\/\">Magnolia RV Park Resort<\/a>.  This is a fairly small park with the balance between transients and long-term (some VERY long-term) residents was about 50\/50.  The long-term RVs were pretty trashy, but the utilities were good, the dog park was great and the pool (which I didn&#8217;t use) looked very nice. And a convenient location with very good OTA television reception.  So, overall, not bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210918_095218-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210918_095218-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210918_095218-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210918_095218-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210918_095218.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>My site at Magnolia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>264 miles via I-20, US 49, I-59 through Hattiesburg, US 98, a zig-zag route through Mobile (I-65 and I-165 plus some local streets) and I-10.
