The best ride on the Mighty Mississippi
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/8/04
If your traveling to beutiful Vicksburg Mississippi, stop down on the river front and give the "Sweet Olive" a ride. Jim Jones and his family are a fine example of Mississippi hospiality. The tour itself is magnificant and breath-taking. Captain Schaeffer gives an account of the history of the river as you ride. There is an abundance of wildlife and plants indeginous to the area that will captivate your eye. They serve refreshments and cold drinks to wet your appetite. I traveled that way from Baltimore. I stayed at one of the many wonderful antebellum homes in the area and was pleased to stumble upon the "Sweet Olive". If your traveling to the area, this should be one of your first stops.
