I want in on one of these explorations. Need to see how its done proper.
Camp Shelby museum has been redone.
Its legit.
Got some outside pics but left phone in car.
History begins with MS Dragoons and goes to modern day. Covers pivotal role of Shelby and it's growth. 3-4 hours if you read it all.
Ask them or me about swastika by east gate.

Not technically in MS, but oh well. Went to one of the blue holes in AR, this one is up near Boston off of HWY 16.

They are not kidding about needing a bit of clearance and 4wd.
Apparently we made it basically to the swimming hole, around the last bend another flat straight and then another bend would have put us where we were looking for. But it had been snowing and had a chance of rain. So going solo and not having a winch, we turned around and aheaded back. Strangely this is a real county road in AR. Much further back we a a ford taurus drove past us heading the other way, but the road closer to the highway was pretty standard slightly maintained dirt.
From HWY 16 you take a turn onto a semi marked road with a fence and one of the cattle barriers to drive over. You drive through a field on a well marked dirt road, over another cattle barrier and keep going. At this point I was a little anxious, maybe it wasn't a public road any more etc. But then we saw a guy on a UTV who waved at us, a ford taurus, and then another 3 guys with a UTV checking stands. My wife was non-too happy during most of this and she can be heard in the video below. On our way back out I saw the last set of guys loading up the UTV and I stopped to ask them about the swimming hole. They told me that they had been down the week before on their UTV and that we almost made it, like 100-200 yards. So now I need to go back.
But, this did make the decision for me, I called up Southern Style Offroad and ordered the front bumper, they were having a 15% off sale anyway on their bumpers this weekend, so they they told me to call back on Monday to order the Winch with the 15% coupon from the Crawl.

Must be a jeep thing.

Wow, guys. Just catching up on this thread, as I bought a 98 LX a couple of months ago. Cant wait to get it out!It helps to have a couple places I HAVE to be. Greenville is my favorite because it is just one doctor. My most important so I go 2-3 times a month and that is usually all I have to do on that day so I get to wander. Adding Memphis to the day is long but I have to be here today for a lunch appt with my second most important doc.
This bridge tho........
On another note, I drive over this bridge every time I go to my hunting camp (Near Stryder Academy). Was thinking about going to this bridge to get some pics earlier in the thread, and you beat me to it.
Also, very cool pics of York Woods @BMThiker . The first place I ever duck hunted was on York, many years ago. Always makes me mad to drive by and its all "posted" up!

Run PMc and I did a relic run up to Ebeneezer for a burger and then over to a friends property for some 100hp Dune action. We rounded it off with a nice meander through Hillside Preserve.
