Here's a picture of Deep Creek taken early on in the ride. I think that's a beaver dam down there, definitely making Deep Creek deeper.

It never fails, all rides include meeting off road vehicles piloted by juvenille delinquents. This was a week day, why weren't these kids in school? Here you see Ray trying to keep up. They finally let the old man pass, well, two old men.
I'll put this one away for future use.

You know I take pictures of all these things They are interesting. I have a complete list of MS historical markers back on Mississippi's Home Page. I forgot about that. I will check this one off. Notice D. L. Carter was the first Postmaster. I wonder if the PO was out of Carter's Store, seen below.

I'm not clear, did F.M.Morris move to Hattisburg or did the Post Office which would then make it the Hattisburg Post Office not the MPO. Sometimes history is confusing. Actually, most times.

Pretty good theory even if they are counties apart. But maybe they aren't counties apart. I don't know. Wouldn't that be something? I have no idea about the progession of thes pictures.

Carter's Store

I thought at first the flags were alike. I went back and saw they were different. One I believe is the State of Mississippi Flag and the other one of the National Flags of the Confederacy.

The next two pictures are of local stores along our route. They were the centers of rural society along with the churches. That's why you see a lot of churches and stores on these pages. They are the points of interest along with the roads and bridges that joined them. I should just change the name of this site to "Stores, Chuches, Roads and Bridges".

I stopped and shot this picture. Ray didn't. Ray asked what it was. I told him a jail. Well it had bars on the windows. That use to mean it was a jail.
Not anymore.
