Love Me Memphis

We got to our destination the afternoon of June 19.  We had hoped to stay in Memphis but the state park was in a pretty dicey area so we headed to North Memphis, Arkansas which is right across the Mississippi River.   We stayed right on the river without a tree within 1/2 mile.  Not our fave place but it would do in a pinch.   If there was any chance I may need the  toilet I had to start out about ten minutes beforehand.  This took a lot of planning.

Wednesday morning we headed to the Graceland RV park which is right next door to Graceland, a first for both of us.   We spent the afternoon touring the grounds.   It was very well organized and is amazing how many businesses are supported by Elvis.  While I loved seeing it all it made me pretty sad.   So much talent gone and with all the history, pictures and videos it's hard to believe Elvis wasn't  around a corner.   But maybe he was.

Someone told us about Marlowes BBQ which was nearby and provided a free ride from the campground.  No brainer there.  We shared a slab of the best ribs we've ever had.  Thank you Memphis!
