Hello from the land of Elvis, Hubba Hubba!
Yes we are in Memphis. The KOA here (actually still in Arkansas) is beautiful. All the KOA's we have stayed in have been really nice and none of them have been more than $45.00. Most of them are award winning ones too.
It is still very hot. It had cooled down just as we arrived about 11:30 because a brief wind & rain storm moved through. I was watching the sky pretty closely. Don't know what good watching does if you see a tornado when you are on the Interstate, but I was watching. They are beyond the tornado season now.
We are booked to go on a tour of Memphis and Graceland tomorrow. Then we can investigate Memphis on our own on Monday.
I can't post pictures here either. (I knew I should have got the Rocket Stick.)
Our adventure is really winding down now. We'll be home in les than two weeks! :-(
LOL til next time

Hi Everyone
I tried to post some pictures from the Vintage Car Museum in Amarillo, Route 66 National Museum in Elk Oklahoma and the Oklahoma National Memorial & Museum but the server keeps rejecting my pictures.
It is HOT here in Oklahoma City. It feels hotter than Vegas because it is more humid.
We went to the Oklahoma Memorial today. Very sobering and emotional. It was VERY well done. I can only hope that what ever NY does is even half as good. I took very few pictures in the Museum. I couldn't do it. It was too emotional and just didn't feel right. The actual memorial was very well done too and I did take pictures of it and will post them later.
Tomorrow we are off to Little Rock and then Memphis.

Hello From Amarillo Texas
Hot and dry here. They have only had one inch of rain in the past year. Normally they get between 12 & 14 inches a year. I can't imagine living in an area with such little rain.
We went in the pool yesterday evening and likely will this evening as well. It cooled down nicely last night but was still warm in the 5th wheel. It's like trying to air condition a tin can.
Today we went to Cadillac Ranch. 10 Cadillacs buried nose down in the dirt and people go and spray graffiti on them. It was neat too see. We also went to Route 66 shopping area. A one mile stretch of antique shops and restaurants along Historic Route 66. We were a little disappointed as it was very dumpy. Ed got himself a Route 66 sign. (It's a guy thing!)
Went and had the oil changed in the truck.
We are doing some down time, taking it easy on the days we aren't travelling.
Wednesday we head to Oklahoma City. Hope to go to the bombing memorial.
Til next time

Hello from Albuquerque
We arrived in Albuquerque the other day via the Four Corners. The only place in the US where four states meet. Utah, Colorado, Arizona & New Mexico. (OK how many of you just went for the atlas??)
The monument is the only thing there but it is very well done and maintained. A neat place.
Albuquerque is predictably hot and a bit muggy. It has spectacular sun sets.
Went into Old Town yesterday, wandered around, had lunch at a Mexican restaurant and took a trolly ride around town. The guide was a blast and we learnt all sorts of interesting things about the city.
Just sat and relaxed today and did laundry. Tomorrow we are off to Amirillo Texas.
Until next time
