Aqua Yacht Harbor, Iuca, Mississippi

We rented a car today with Nancy and Eddie and toured Shiloh National Military Park, scene of one of the most important, and bloodiest, battles of the Civil War. The park is well maintained; it is easy to see the sites of the battles and the devastation that took place. The Shiloh Indian Mounds National Historic Landmark is on the same site, with some examples of mounds.

Confederate soldiers were buried in 5 large common gravesites at Shiloh

Union soldiers killed in battle were also buried in large trench graves; they were later re-buried in a National War Cemetary created on the site.

Went to the restaurant at the Pickwick National Park for dinner, then back here to the marina for a quiet evening.

Eddie gave us a picture he took as we met one of  our first tows. He calls it "Between a rock and a hard place"
