Great Southern food!
Not so great stuff:
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
Several 10+ hour driving days.... (I know, expected on a cross country trip!)
Lynn and Bob, Good to hear from you both! Great pictures and good commentary on the sites you visited. I'm expecting Bobby to be updating the Lonely Planets for the United States too after you guys come back. Signed up as one of your blog followers so will keep in touch.

Awesome trip. So Tupelo is next? Send Elvis my regards. Hope the leaves are looking colorful. It's cold and rainy here so you're not missing much. Say hi to Yogi and the Ranger when you get to Yellowstone. If you're in the neighb orhood of Terribles, give us and Edmundster a jingle and we may just join you. Happy trails.
ReplyDeleteBob, Will you still eat Beef Jerky after seeing how it is made ? Gotta be scary. I assume there's gambling in MS. Have fun & be safe. Paul
ReplyDeleteLynn and Bob,
ReplyDeleteNice to keep up with you on this blog. Sun is finally out here today (Monday) after 5 dreary days. Hopefully your weather will be better during the rest of the trip. I LOVE Eric Clapton.
Have fun......~Judy
