Who'll Stop The Rain Day-Day 8

It rained all night long and then all of the morning while I was finishing up the tour of Vicksburg National Military Park. The 16 mile tour of the Park took a great deal of time to finish totaling about 3.5 hours. The Siege of Vicksburg, which lasted 47 days until July 4, 1863, ended in the surrender of the city to the Union forces.
Gasoline purchased today cost $3.799/gallon, which still does not match the low $3.619/gallon price of the trip.
During the afternoon in or about Monroe, Louisiana the sun came out and the temperature then rose to 78F.
My plan is to go into Dallas tomorrow to Dealey Plaza, see Cowboy Stadium, and whatever else that I deemed interesting.
Until then folks!
