We're at the Casino Queen Campground in East St. Louis for a mini rally with friends. Note the St. Louis arch growing out of the top of our rig. Nice CG, very secure but kinda noisy. We enjoyed our time together - especially at the Big Mamma's restaurant where we all enjoyed their 2lb pork steak dinner - everyone had lots of left overs.

On the TN/KY Border

 

Enroute to our next stop - Paducah, KY - we stopped to say hello to Drew Graham - the GM of a new Pilot Station. We were stationed with Drew's parents, Bill and Nancy Graham a few years ago. OK long before Drew was even born. Had a nice chat and then we were off.

Anersonville or Camp Sumter as it was officialy know, was one of the largest Confederate military prison estabished during the Civil War. Built in 1864 after Confederate officials decided to move the large number of Federal prisoners kept in and around Richmond, Va, to a place of greater security. During the 14 months the prison existed, more than 45,000 Union soldiers were confined here. Some 13,000 died from disease, poor sanitation, malnutrition, overcrowding, or exposure.

A beautiful Spring day for touring Bellingrath. Bellingrath home was completed in 1935 after the gardens had been established. The Bellingraths made their millions by starting one of the 1st Coke bottling franchises in the USA.
