This shot and the next two were taken by a passenger, William F. Cummins, on a cruise boat which passed by us near Vicksburg.

"Oct. 12, 2000 just south of the Mississippi River bridge at Vicksburg.
We were on the river tour boat."

Not often do we get a look at the raft underway, from the outside perspective. Thanks, Mr. Cummins!

This is the type of situation we tried hard to avoid: squeezed up next to the bank, outside of the channel, and on the outside of an upcoming curve, with oncoming traffic.   see log entry
