Goal: Clarksdale – The Cross Roads of the Blues We start the day by driving across the I55 bridge to Arkansas. The Arkansas side of the Mississippi is the flood plain side of the river at Memphis. Miles and Miles of flat open area, which obviously floods regularly. The municipality of West Memphis, Arkansas is… Continue reading TW Day 4: Saturday 11/6/2021
Trip Log
TW Day 3: Friday 11/5/2021.
Goal: Tour Memphis. We drove the 20-minutes north to down town Memphis from the campground. There are several large affordable parking lots at the corner of Main Street and Beale. We arrived around 10:30 AM. As we cross Main street we note the railed trolly traveling down Main Street. We head on down Beale street… Continue reading TW Day 3: Friday 11/5/2021.
TW Day 2: Thursday 11/4/2021.
Goal: Memphis, Tennessee Since we did not take much out last night, getting on the road this morning was expedient and uneventful. Deryl spent the first hour of the drive on a conference call with Barron Chiropractic. Deryl is training the staff in advanced accounts receivable processing. Luckily with today’s cellular service, and virtual private… Continue reading TW Day 2: Thursday 11/4/2021.
TW Day 1: Wednesday 11/3/2021
Goal: Talladega, Alabama. Our plan is to break the drive from Hardeeville, South Carolina to Memphis, Tennessee into 2 days as the hours would be too many to be able to set up before dark. We selected Talladega, Alabama as the stop today because it was about 2/3rds of the distance, and would allow us… Continue reading TW Day 1: Wednesday 11/3/2021
TS Day 16 – Tuesday 11/2/2021:
Goal: Travel Prep Today we did some shopping for breakfast foods for the next week. We won’t be cooking much when we get to Memphis, as we anticipate dining on Beale Street many nights. We will, however, eat breakfast in The Wols Roost before we head out for our explorations. Deryl got more writing done… Continue reading TS Day 16 – Tuesday 11/2/2021:
TS Day 15: Monday 11/1/2021.
Goal: Laundry and visit with the Peters. Deryl worked with our Internet Service Provider (ISP) to get the WordPress software working on our domain so that we could write this website. It took several tries before WordPress would install. The good news is that now that it is installed, Deryl has been writing lots about… Continue reading TS Day 15: Monday 11/1/2021.
TS Day 14: Sunday 10/31/2021.
Given how much fun we had in Savannah, and that Savannah is only 30 minutes away versus 2 hours away for Charleston, South Carolina, we chose to return to Savannah for another day. We also discussed that finding a narrated tour would help us understand Savannah better than what we were able to glean by… Continue reading TS Day 14: Sunday 10/31/2021.
TS Day 13 – Saturday 10/30/2021
Goal: Tour Savannah, Georgia We rise, coffee, eat the pecan buns we purchased at Publix yesterday, and head south to Savannah, Georgia. On the Peter’s advice, we take US 17 south from Hardeeville, south to Savannah. This takes us through the wooded, back way into Savannah, and across the beautiful bridge. The drive was about… Continue reading TS Day 13 – Saturday 10/30/2021
TS Day 11: Thursday 10/28/2021
Goal: Hardeeville, SC Overnighting in the South Carolina Welcome Center truck parking turns out to be better than we expected, that or we were more tired than we realized. While both of us woke up, when the truck parked next to us had its flat tire replaced, we were back asleep when it left. Deryl… Continue reading TS Day 11: Thursday 10/28/2021
TS Day 12: Friday 10/29/2021
Goal: Truck Service, The Tour, Shopping, and Dinner Guests Clyde’s new Active Airbox: We get up and going around 9:00 AM.
