Travel on the Mississippi

Looking for input on our planned trip down the Arkansas and the
Mississippi, final destination Gulf Breeze Florida. Trip has been in the
planning phase for some time and I have reviewed a number of reports by
others regarding the limited facilities, fuel etc. Currently planning on
fueling up (diesel) in Greenville and Baton Rouge but would also like to
stop in Vicksburg and see the Military Cemetery however, it looks like from
the Active Captain reports, the floating dock is on shore. So any
suggestions regarding Vicksburg, fueling options in Baton Rouge and general
guidance/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
