Mississippi Roads | 1402 | All About the Dead: Historic Cemeteries | MPB
From Cedar Hill Cemetery in Vicksburg.
Featuring Friendship Cemetery in Columbus, Natchez City Cemetery and the Chapel of the Cross Cemetery in Madison County.
Cemeteries around the state are hallowed places that tell us a lot about our history, like Cedar Hill Cemetery in Vicksburg, one of the country’s oldest and largest cemeteries that’s still in use today. Then we head up to Friendship Cemetery in Columbus where our national Memorial Day holiday has its roots. Down Highway 61 in Natchez, many of the state’s first settlers found their resting places. Finally, the haunting story of Henry Vick at Chapel of the Cross in Madison County plays a central role in that area’s history.

Abandoned Mall in Meridian, Ms.
An amazing abandoned mall in Meridian, Mississippi. There were no obvious ways of entry plus the police dept. was in the adjacent parking lot, so I didn't attempt to enter.

About Lykins Films - I love documenting the rare & the abandoned. What’s the story there? Who were they? When was it? At what moment did the last person leave it abandoned. One day it’ll be gone & at least it’ll be documented in these videos & pictures.

Vicksburg Mississippi National Military Park , Drive Tour
Vicksburg Mississippi National Military Park , Drive Tour.
Vicksburg National Military Park preserves the site of the American Civil War Battle of Vicksburg, waged from March 29 to July 4, 1863. The park, located in Vicksburg, Mississippi (flanking the Mississippi River), also commemorates the greater Vicksburg Campaign which led up to the battle. Reconstructed forts and trenches evoke memories of the 47-day siege that ended in the surrender of the city. Victory here and at Port Hudson, farther south in Louisiana, gave the Union control of the Mississippi River.
The park includes 1,325 historic monuments and markers, 20 miles (32 km) of historic trenches and earthworks, a 16-mile (26 km) tour road, a 12.5-mile (20.1 km) walking trail, two antebellum homes, 144 emplaced cannons, the restored gunboat USS Cairo (sunk on December 12, 1862, on the Yazoo River), and the Grant's Canal site, where the Union Army attempted to build a canal to let their ships bypass Confederate artillery fire.
The Cairo, also known as the Hardluck Ironclad, was the first U.S. ship in history to be sunk by a torpedo/mine. It was recovered from the Yazoo in 1964.
The Illinois State Memorial has 47 steps, one for every day Vicksburg was besieged.
The 116.28-acre (0.4706 km2) Vicksburg National Cemetery, is within the park. It has 18,244 interments (12,954 unidentified).
The time period for Civil War interments was 1866 to 1874. The cemetery is not open to new interments. The cemetery[1] has only one airman of Royal Australian Air Force buried during World War II.[2]
The remnants of Grant's Canal, a detached section of the military park, are located across from Vicksburg near Delta, Louisiana. Union Army Major General Ulysses S. Grant ordered the project, started on June 27, 1862, as part of his Vicksburg Campaign, with two goals in mind. The first was to alter the course of the Mississippi River in order to bypass the Confederate guns at Vicksburg. For various technical reasons the project failed to meet this goal. The river did change course by itself on April 26, 1876. The project met its second goal, keeping troops occupied during the laborious maneuvering required to begin the Battle of Vicksburg.

Civil War Prisoners of War Awsomeness
Auschwitz: Drone video of Nazi concentration camp - BBC News
Drone video shows the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp as it is today - 70 years after it was liberated by Soviet troops. The camp in Poland is now maintained as a World Heritage Site and is visited by thousands of tourists and survivors every year. Auschwitz was the largest camp established by the Germans during World War II. More than a million people - the vast majority of them Jews - died there between 1940, when it was built, and 1945, when it was liberated by the Soviet army.
Railway tracks into Auschwitz-Birkenau - Trains filled with victims from throughout occupied Europe arrived at the camp almost every day between 1942 and the summer of 1944.
Ruins of wooden huts at Birkenau - Birkenau (or Auschwitz II) was erected in 1941 solely as a death camp, the wooden huts are now in ruins with only brick fireplaces and chimneys remaining.
Entrance to Auschwitz I -The wrought-iron sign over the entrance bears the words Arbeit Macht Frei - Work sets you free.
Auschwitz I - The brick-built buildings were the former cavalry barracks of the Polish Army.
Courtyard between blocks 10 and 11 at Auschwitz I - Block 11 was called the Block of Death by prisoners. Executions took place between Block 10 and Block 11 and posts in the yard were used to string up prisoners by their wrists.
Auschwitz Birkenau is now a museum run by the Polish Culture Ministry, and a Unesco world heritage site.

Grand Ecore RV Park - Grand Opening
Ecore is French for bluff, which is what our beautiful location is known for. Near our RV Park is our large, 80-foot high bluff that towers over the Red River.
Our RV Park is located next to the Grand Ecore Recreation Area, which opened in 2004. Since we are located on Bayou Pierre, there is plenty to see from either the shore or on your boat.

Inside Juvenile Detention
As recently as 2005, the state of Virginia had eight centers like Bon Air Juvenile Correctional Facility, housing more than 1,300 delinquent youth. But by 2017, after a series of reforms, that number had shrunk to one.
“It's not that you can't do good work here,” said Andy Block, who, since 2014, has served as the juvenile-justice department’s director. “But the place itself and the design and the size and the location are barriers to doing good work.” Block and others are working to close Bon Air and replace it with something that reflects the juvenile justice reforms that have taken hold in Virginia and across the country—a system that once focused on confinement is now dedicated to rehabilitation. In recent years, more than 70 percent of Virginia's juvenile inmates were rearrested within three years of their release.*
Read more on The Atlantic:
*This documentary originally stated that Virginia has one of the highest recidivism rates in the country. This characterization was based on incomplete data. The documentary also stated that the three-year rearrest rate for current Bon Air inmates would be 74 percent. This was the rate for former juvenile inmates in Virginia in 2014. We regret the errors.

Costa Rica TRAVEL VIDEO | 3 Weeks of Paradise
We were lucky enough to spend 3 amazing weeks in Costa Rica & Panama in 2017. Filming, photography and editing are 3 new hobbies gained from the trip, which have been translated into my first travel video - enjoy! Itinerary and gear details below:
Instagram:
Footage & Gear
- All clips taken on either D3300/ S6/Akaso FakePro action camera. All footage is my own and was edited in Adobe Premiere Pro
- If I can give 1 piece of advice to anyone thinking of making a travel video it would be to film on your smartphone/action camera using a Gimbal (DSLR Gimbals are a lot more expensive). Warp Stabilizer on Premier Pro is great but I’d much rather have professional looking smooth footage for only ~£100 investment. This Gimbal is what I will be using on my next trip:
- Music: Treasured Soul by Michael Calfan
Itinerary (Created with minimising travel while hitting as many wishlist activities in mind)
- San Jose
Make the most of your trip, the best things to see in CR are outside the capital so if you can, leave for your first destination as soon as you land
- Monteverde - 3 nights (should have been 4, flight delayed 24h!)
Could have stayed here forever, 3 amazing national parks full of life and an incredibly chilled atmosphere in the town
- La Fortuna - 4 nights (should have been 3, definitely worth visiting but it did drag a little)
This is tourism central, you lose the chilled and tropical vibe but there are sooo many different activities
Chocolate tour and a night experience of a hot spring are recommended
- Tortugero - 2 nights (perfect amount of time)
A long journey from La Fortuna but 100% worth it for us since we really wanted to experience the sea turtle nesting
- Caribbean Coast - 6 nights
Pristine and undisturbed beaches all across the coast, paradise
- Panama - 3 nights
Bocas Del Toro/Bastimentos, paradise took on another level here… although on Bastimentos the restaurants tend to open when they feel like (never), so we were eating chicken noodles for 2 nights, all part of the experience I guess!
- Back to Caribbean and onwards to San Jose - 2 nights
Rio Pacuare class 4/5 white water rafting en route, amazing. If you do “GoPro” the experience make sure you check the angle of your camera when possible and do what you can to prevent lens steaming – these are the reasons I have such limited footage from that experience, there were some amazing Indian Jones-esque views I couldn’t share sadly
Corcovado is the only place I regret not visiting but it was a really tough place to fit in, whale watching in the Pacific would have been amazing too… maybe one day
Also if anyone wants to buy me a DJI Mavic Pro I’m cool with that – thanks for watching!
