Was reading up on something and noted this today about closures at Vicksburg due to Isaac. I know one forum member was planning to go over there and see the Cairo in the near future so he and others should call ahead
There are park alerts in effect.
Temporary Closure Update - Friday, August 31
Park visitor center ONLY is open today from 8:00-5:00. The remainder of the park, including the entire tour road and the USS Cairo Museum is closed to all uses (including pedestrian and bicycles) because of damage caused by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Isaac.
Many trees and limbs are down, and the tour road is blocked in several places. Crews are working to clear debris and remove unsafe conditions. The duration of the closure remains undetermined at this time, but we will work to reopen as soon as possible.
