Journal – Snowbird – Eleventh Day
It was a nice day today with the high of 55 degrees, but it is going to 32 degrees tonight, and there is a chill in the air of the trailer tonight. I did not take in any history today, but I got my truck serviced. As for this trip, keeping my truck in good…

Journal Entry – Snowbird – Tenth Day
This morning I moved from a state park on the east side of Tupelo to the west side, although it was windy and my trailer was getting pushed around. So, regarding the move, I went from zero bars of internet reception to three, so I am typing now. After lunch, I went Parkway Visitor Center…

Journal Entry – Snowbird – Ninth Day
First, I pulled into a campground just before dark that has little to no internet signal, so I am typing from my I Pad. As for me, it has been kind of a slow day. This afternoon I went through the interpretative canter for Brice Crossing Battlefield. It was toward the end of the war,…

Journal Entry – Snowbird – Eight Day
I did a lot of driving, but it was kind of uneventful day, and the weather did not help, since it was warm, but it was drizzling most of the time and it did not show up on the radar. During the 200th anniversary of the Lewis and Clark expedition, I studied their journey closely.…

Journal Entry – Snowbird – Seventh Day
Today, was really a nice day for November, but maybe the days are all like this down here. Partly sunny, windy at times, and the temperature high was 76 degrees. Today, I reviewed the Shiloh Battlefield and the city of Corinth. What really struck me was the number of dead soldiers. Did they really have…

Journal Entry – Snowbird – Sixth Day
It was a nice day here with the temperature at 72 degrees and little to no winds, so it is short sleeve weather, again. Since I had a nice campsite, I thought that I should spend another day there, but the cold weather is coming south, so I drove to the Shiloh Battlefield Site this…

Journal Entry-Snowbird-Fifth Day
I spent most of the day at Fort Donaldson along the west side of the Cumberland River. Once again, the amount of work that the Confederates put in to protect the fort is awesome. The amount of soil move for tenches and gun parapets is incredible. Sure they had like 16,000 solders, and an unknown…

Journal Entry – Snowbird – Forth Day
I started this morning by touring Columbus-Belmont State Park. There was a large number of kiosks describing the Battle of Belmont on the Missouri side of the Mississippi River. Before the battle, the confederates had troops on both sides of the river. Since they were expecting US Grant to come at them from the north…

Journal Entry – Snowbird – Third Day
Water puddles everywhere this morning, since the area has had rain. I walked over to Fort Massac this morning and looked around. There is a large story about the fort, or maybe I should stated the two forts. The second fort was built along side of the original fort site, since the original fort was…

Journal Entry – Snowbird – Second Day
Today, I woke up with geese honking around my trailer, and I still had the beautiful view of the manmade lake. It was cloudy, with a breeze; so, I got out of there around 9:00 and expect a nice drive for today. But, some time after I got on the interstate, the winds came up…
