The Devils Backbone

The Coon Dawg Cemetery...	..poignant...	...sweet...	...memorable...	...did I say Touching?
So we start down the Devils Backbone.	Ya gotta read this...	... and this is what we found. Looking for bald spots in the middle of winter pretty much defines "dumb tourist".	Just how old?	Oh.
	We go into the swamp. Andrew never tied his shoes...	One wouldn't think that a swamp would be so beautiful. The park service made this one quite inviting!	The signs educate you to the important features of the Cypress trees. These are the "knees".	Beautifully reflective.	Reflectively beautiful.
	More knees. This is a good shot of knees if you are into that sort of stuff.	Andrew is always photogenic.	The book we were reading as we wandered down the trace talked of making fire from the dry moss found growing on the trees...	Beautiful, ...	...just beautiful.
Boy, if I'm not taking pictures of flowers, I'm taking pictures of towers! Clearly, we're on the road again, out of the swamp....	To Vicksburg where the local firepower required inspection...
			Raised remains of the Ironclad Memphis.	Stand by the cannon!	Matthew is ready to defend Vicksburg...
