Well we didn't see Elvis, however there was a Pyramid in Memphis, although that's Egypt, not Greece.
Great trip, 1160 miles for the weekend. We left 7 am on Saturday, leaving the rain behind in DFW which it apparently did all weekend. Pretty much a straight trip to Memphis, about 450 miles. Mostly interstate but it got us there. A little rest and we are on the trolley to Beale Street. What a great town and street. It was closed off to traffic and was like one giant bar. Big A$$ beers everywhere. We went to the Pig to eat and watched and listened to a couple of musicians. Then after that went to Pat O'Brians to listen to the piano guys and have three hurricanes come over us. It was a lot of fun, we headed back to the hotel around 10:30 as it had been a long day.
Oh, Celebrity sightings, the Bird Lady from American Idol...
Up and at'em early on Sunday, some of us more worse for wear than others. Our Fearless leader Paul was probably the worst. Off to Russellville, AR for the next night. It was a good ride. We all took it a little easier this night. Run road of the day was Hwy 7 from Harrison to Russellville, through small towns of Dogpatch as well as Booger Hollow and Chigger Hollow. They sure like the confederate flag in parts of Western Arkansas...
Monday morning everyone was refreshed and we continued on our way down Highway 7 through Hot Springs to IH 30 where we boogied our way back to Dallas. We hit rain just East of Greenville, but for the most part stayed dry as it was a brief shower. Home by 4:30. A long but very fun weekend.
