Doing My Civil War Thing

Just got back from a 17 day trip to the Gulf Coast to get away from the rotten winter we're having in the Midwest.

Of course, that's the South and that means Civil War, so I visited some sites along the way.

I visited both Fort Gaines and Fort Morgan guarding Mobile Bay all these years. I also went to Fort Barrancas on the Pensacola Naval Air Station and drove by the Advanced Redoubt.

Jefferson Davis' Beauvoir Home in Biloxi is looking great from the outside, but not open to the public yet.

Along the highways I saw two different Sons of Confederate Veterans displays.
