Rieccoci per un'altra tappa seguendo il corso del Mississippi. Oggi si arriva a Greenville, piccolo centro dello stato che porta il nome del fiume protagonista del tour
Decolliamo in un sereno pomeriggio dall'aeroporto internazionale di Memphis diretti a sud
Prendiamo quota mentre davanti al Maule si staglia non so cosa! Non mi sembra che ci siano rilievi nei dintorni di Memphis. Un bug di FS2004?
Alla nostra destra i laghi View, Horn e Mud che si trovano in Mississippi, subito dopo il confine col Tennessee
Stiamo per raggiungere la quota di crociera: osserviamo il lago Arkabutla in lontananza e, dalla parte opposta, in Arkansas, i laghi Horseshoe, Porter e Midway
Il Tunica Lake, dalla caratteristica forma a C, si trova nei pressi dell'omonima cittadina che, dopo Las Vegas e Atlantic City, è il centro più importante per gambling
The Storm Creek Lake is teeming with fish in the St. Francis National Forest. We're going to get to the reporting point is that the city of West Helena, Arkansas home Blues and Heritage Festival
Some cloud does not affect the vision of these lakes, like brush strokes on a canvas. The particular shape of a question from the lake is the Old Town
Near Clarksdale, the water is still leading
Numerous rivers cross the White River National Wildlife Refuge before going to feed the flow of the Mississippi
begin the descent: we move away from the river to head to the Mid Delta Regional Airport in Greenville. The weather seems to be changing and I have to fight the wind (in these moments I regret the lack of a footswitch)
After 50 minutes of flight we are in Greenville, a small town named after the hero of the war Nathanael Greene of independence. Greenville is located on the shore of Lake Ferguson, where are located two floating casinos. One of his street, Nelson Street, is famous for the presence of local historians that in the '40s and '50s had developed the so-called "Delta Blues".
note that this city gave birth to Mary Wilson, name unknown to me, but I find that to be one of Supremes, one of the most popular female vocal groups in the sixties, made by Wilson, Florence Ballard and the famous by Diana Ross .
