I didn't have wireless access last night, now I have to do 2 days! Yesterday we decided to go to Lookout Mountain/Rock City. It's just into Georgia, but really Chattanooga. You can see seven states from the top - VA, NC, SC, TN, KY, GA, AL. Pretty scenery; it was a long of driving though as went 600 miles. We stayed last night in the little burg of Stevenson, AL. A man at a gast station told us we did not want to go the route we had picked out through TN as it would take forever. So, at his suggestion we went into northern AL. The Tennesse Valley Authority is expansive through out the South. After looking at guide books last night, we changed our next day destination from Memphis. Had a drive through northern AL & MS including the Natchez Trace Parkway. We arrived in Clarksdale, Mississippi at 4:00. Eldon wants to see the Delta Blues Museum and place called Ground Zero, a juke joint, to hear the blues. He just finished reading a book about this area & Muddy Waters - so here we are! (It's in the 1,000 Places to See Before You Die book). We'll check it out tonight & let you know. Here are pics of Lookout Mountain from yesterday.
Comments from Eldon: I'm in heaven. Tomorrow I go to the crossroads of Robert Johnson - Rt. 61 & 49. (this is where he "sold his soul" to become a blues guitarist extraordinaire).
Comments from Larry: Motel rooms are all beginning to look alike.......boring..........
