As many folks know I visit historical cemeteries taking pictures of General graves. I am currently trying to decide where I will go for my spring break 2021 trip. So far I am thinking Saint Louis, Doing an Ohio President's tour, Alabama trip, Little Rock, Louisiana and Virginia. My biggest worry is covid and my second worry is the weather. So I am open to other suggestions if anyone can think of a place.
Arkansas is in the middle of a serious covid surge.
Little Rock (Pulaski County), has the state's largest population, and the largest number of cases, by far, 33, 000. That's 11 % of the whole state. If you feel compelled to go there, I recommend eating, gassing up the car, sleeping somewhere else and confining your visit to Little Rock cemeteries only.
Louisiana (especially NOLA and Baton Rouge) and Alabama (Birmingham is the most dangerous place and Mobile) are pretty dangerous,
Look at the numbers on the web
In Mississippi, Vicksburg (Warren County) has a low covid rate, as most of the state does, except for the Gulf coast, Jackson, and the counties nearest Memphis.
Kentucky is fairly safe, except for Louisville.
The area around Lyon County, named for Confederate General Hyland Benton Lyon, in the beautiful Land between the Lakes area and an easy drive to Fort Donelson, has a cumulative total of 404, that's four hundred and four cases,
I went to the area about 2 months ago and it was safe, and a wonderful place to visit. General Lyon's grave is in Eddyville, in Lyon County.
Stay safe
