Midway Marina to Columbus Marina, Mississippi

Today we went through four locks traveling 56 miles.   The scenery was beautiful and varied with little evidence of civilization being present. 
Columbus, Mississippi is the site of a big airforce training base.  More than 1/3 of all airforce pilots are trained at this airport. In terms of landings and takeoffs it is among the busiest airports in the US. 
Tennessee Williams was born here; his house has been renovated and is now used as a visitor center.  
Columbus has many antebellum homes;  they are lived in, well maintained and they can be toured.

Getting closer to Florida?

Tomorrow we travel 26 miles to Pirates Marina Cove in Carrollton, Alabama.
