Some things to remember when doing this series:
- This is the Homochitto National Forest; home to many animals, poisonous snakes, mosquito’s, ticks and chiggers. Please plan accordingly and take precautions.
- The dirt roads around the area can get muddy, especially after a rain. May not be good for some vehicles. Some roads are single lane, so please be careful if caching in groups.
- Make sure you have plenty of water and snacks.
- Carry out what you take in, don’t leave anything behind.
- The roads can be busy during hunting season, so plan accordingly.
- We had good cell phone and satellite coverage, your results may vary.
- Most important of all --> Have fun! <--
Although the second national flag, known as the Stainless Banner, was adopted May 1, 1863, almost two years before the Civil War ended, it is unlikely that it was used to any extent in Mississippi.
The Stars and Bars was still flying above the Confederate fortress of Vicksburg when it fell July 4, 1863. By then, the lower Mississippi Valley, including Memphis, Vicksburg, Natchez, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and much of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, was under Federal control.
