We didn't have far to travel today, just about 150 miles to the other side of Mississippi. We are going to spend two nights in Vicksburg to visit the NPS Battlefield. I don't know much about this battle of the Civil War but I am sure I will learn about it at the park.
We are stopped at the Ameristar Casino along the river. It is a setup similar to Pechanga in CA. I don't think we will be visiting the casino but the park is fine. I will take pictures tomorrow. It is all pull-through sites with full hookups. Nothing fancy but it works for what we have planned. One odd thing is that you have to go into the office and check-out before you leave. They run it similar to a hotel.
After getting setup we went in search of the nearest Walmart. I need to get ink for my printer. It wasn't at the address that was listed on the website but by driving down the road, looking for a place to turn-around, we found it.
One reader asked why I look for parks with full-hookups. Well, it put it plainly, I am spoiled and don't like to ration my water usage. Remember, this is my home. We are in it every day. We do stay in parks that don't have sewer at the sites but I like to have a sewer hookup at least every other day. I prefer not to use the site bathhouse so that means conserving.
I plan on going out to breakfast in the morning since it has been awhile. Breakfast out is one of my favorite meals.
That is all for now.
