Jay and I spent a crazy-cold day in the Delta
geocaching this weekend. Between an occasional mist and blistering north winds, we found a good number of geocaches in Bolivar, Washington, and Sunflower counties.
The Delta is so full of history and culture, so much that even in my 20 years of living there, I've hardly scratched the surface.
This is the Po' Monkey Lounge, just outside Merigold, MS. Yes, there's a geocache there too, and we found it. Po' Monkey's has been around for 50-odd years, cobbled together out of a sharecropper shack. Willie "Po' Monkey" Seaberry began operating the shack as a lounge back in the 1950's sometime, and he still runs the place. Monkey only opens on Thursday normally, but occasionally by special request or reservation. Some simple rules to visiting Po' Monkey's (acording to one of many signs out front): Thursday Night only (are you book a party or something); dont bring no beer inside, but you can bring your own liquor; no loud music outside; no rap music; no dope smoking.
Wonder how nice our world would be if we just put our rules out front? Hmm....maybe that's another blog.
