Joe Little rides his painted mare, Dawn, in the median of U.S. 61 South in Yokena Tuesday afternoon. Little said he got off work early and decided to get Dawn out for some riding. The 40 acres he has for riding was too muddy from the rain so he decided to ride on the highway. Sunny skies will return today and continue through the weekend. Cooler temperatures are forecast with highs in the mid-60s and overnight lows in the 30s. (Katie Carter/The Vicksburg Post)
