Thread Name: location of Robert Johnson's crossroads
Subject: RE: location of Robert Johnson's crossroads
A few summers ago, me and a couple of friends went to find it. We purposefully ignored all the tourist stuff, and did investigating and exploring on our own. In our findings which were also confirmed and elaborated by Pat LeBlanc (an local expert) we found 3 likely sites for his grave. My favorite one was in Itta Bena MS. My advice is to contact Pat Leblanc, he knows more about it than anyone I ever met, and when you ask questions like this to The Mississippi State Tourist Bureau they give you Pat's number which is 601-254-9333. If you are taking a trip to MS and really do care about this, call him, you'll not regret it and he will welcome your call. I had a ball snooping around MS, its like a different world down there.
