Memphis, Tennessee - in the swamplands of the south

We parked up at the Memphis Graceland RV Campground, off Elvis Presley Boulevard, down Lonely Heart Lane right by the Heartbreak Hotel!!!

Spent an evening in Beale Street in the Blues Hall Jook Joint listening to the Dr Feelgood Potts Band, just across from B B King's Club - we were a week too early to catch B B himself. Did a tour of Sun studios where Elvis recorded his first record - awesome! - then spent afternoon on Mud Island at the Missisippi River Museum, which was excellent. Walked the course of a scale model of the Missisippi (30" to 1 mile) which detailed the geography & history of the river & the lands that border it. Took 3 hours to walk the model length!! Wow!!

Felt obliged to do the Graceland thang before we left - and it was a surprisingly un-tacky experience. We were glad to have visited.

So now it's onward through Arkansas ..................& Oklahoma, here we come................................
