Friars Point Mississippi

Rained out of Clarksdale, I headed off to see the Mississippi River... which was more difficult than one would think, but I did find this great little town with a bunch of historical markers: Friars Point.
Where I was surprised to discover an old tank and some great Civil War History.

    I enjoyed my one afternoon there. Ky plan was to see the river but I was unaware of how big the levee was. Funny thing though, three days later the film I was working on shot right there on the river in a quarry there. It was meant to be!

    I found myself there for a last minute job lasting only three weeks and did this episode on one of my few days off, did all the research the night before, so I'm sure I missed a lot. That's the beautiful thing about going out to discover the world on a day trip, you take away what you can and use that information to learn more. Thank for the additional information, keep it coming and I'll be sure to add it if I ever make it back to that part of MS.
