A cool benefit of all of this was the fact I was able to drive a large stretch of Highway 49 in the middle of the night. In reality it was just another boring highway on a long roadtrip. However, for my inner blues geek it was exciting to drive down the historic highway and cross those old forgotten crosroads around midnight.
Obviously I would love another visit in that area to explore the historic blues trail. While I am in the area I could also explore the civil war history of Vicksburg which I also drove through. I might not be able to do that soon but in about a week I will be able to make that drive in the other direction. Hopefully with no hell hounds on our trail!
Some might consider Mississippi a poor state. However the state is rich in culture and history.

I hate start/stop travel issues. Glad you finally hit the road. Nice tunes, Mike. Crossroads is a fave. Have fun with the family.
Thank for stopping off to vote in my battle.(smile)
This post reminds me that some lovely songs have been written about traveling.
Enjoy your trip!
I've done a bit of travel in that same area. It does have an interesting history and culture. I'll probably be driving in those part again toward the end of June or beginning of July.
Have good travels.
