This barge was big and moving south really fast. I mean really fast.


The waves off the screw drives pushed everyone back up the steps.

I just love checking out fine furniture stores, the smell of new leather and upholstery is an acquired taste.

Nice looking store, let's go in and check it out.

Just teasin. The store is owned by the Hutson family. The bike is owned by a buddy, Jeff Hutson and I knew it was there. Nice bike for sure and looks good in any venue.

Yes, I have to admit a BMW is an excellent accessory or accent to any living room, den, or family room.

We have the Sultana Museum in Marion. My buddy Rosilyn Reynolds is the de facto head of the museum. She's been wanting to visit some of the Civil War venue's on the Mississippi River. We hooked up for a little trip north of Memphis along the Mississippi River to Tipton County to Fort Randolph, Fort Pillow, and Covington, county seat of Tipton County.

Down the hill is the powder magazine. Too much greenery to get a pic. I've been down there inside the magazine a couple of times in the past. Now is not the right time. Chiggars will eat me alive, may go back this winter and get some pics.

John's Boat Dock at the bottom of the hill at Randolph. This is a popular Biker hangout on weekends. I've ridden here many times.

The Town had Halloween and fall festival decorations all over the town square. Very festive, I should have took more pics.

Rosalyn said she was in for heading over to Ft. Pillow, 10-4; back to the river.



Over the years, the river has moved away from the fort.
