Memphis!

We travelled from Wichita to Ft. Smith, Arkansas the first day and stayed the night at a rest stop on I-40...then on to Memphis the following day. We stayed at T.O. Fuller State Park in Memphis for 2 nights. The park itself was absolutely beautiful! Clean, quiet and pretty. Memphis on the other hand, was disappointing. We spent a whole day driving and walking around the city. We saw Graceland, but felt the $60.00 to 'tour it' could be better spent elsewhere, We walked up and down Beale Street, had lunch at Silky O'Sullivan's, saw the pyramid, Mud River Park and the Mississippi. Memphis is full of history and culture, but it is unfortunate they have let the city become a garbage dump. There is no pride whatsoever...it's a shame.

Tonight we are in Clarksville, TN, and will leave Oct. 13th.

I tried to upload pictures with this post unsuccessfully, so will try the pictures tomorrow morning. ....Oct. 12 a.m....yup..photo above is at our site in Memphis.
