Our drive today was a little less rainy but still more than we cared to see. We stopped for fuel along the way and at a rest stop for Jim to stretch. At first we thought about stopping for lunch but we were only an hour away from the campground so opted to keep going and have lunch once we were set up. We are in a campground that sits on the edge of the Mississippi River. Although the river is very low, barges still move up and down the river throughout the day.
The campground was only half full when we got here but it is filling up fast. Of course this is Friday so many people may be coming in for the weekend. We will be leaving very early tomorrow to drive to Jerry and Heidi's home in Murfreesboro.
One of the campers that rolled in is actually a tiny home on wheels, possibly built in Fredericksburg VA.
After some short naps we all hopped in the car for one more day of being tourists. First we visited Mud Island to see the Mississippi River laid out through the park.
The water is not flowing so that was disappointing but we did get some good views of the actual river and the city of Memphis.
From there we drove to Graceland so Mike and Joanne could see the outside of the house viewed from the street. It was too late in the day for any tour. Then we went to Marlowe's Restaurant where Elvis visited during his last few years.
Guy Fieri paid a visit several years ago as part of Diners Drive-ins and Dives. We got to sit in the Elvis booth for dinner and enjoyed BBQ dinners.
