9/24 Tom and Toj have left the State

Graceland or Bust. This may be just another roadside attraction but, it was done very well for what it was. What a crazy guy that Elvis. We toured Graceland and visited his gravesite. We really missed Gregmo here, but will make it up to you somehow, man…Thank you…Thank you very much. We then had world famous dry rubbed ribs at “Rendezvous” near Beale Street. Again we had to hit the road if we were ever going to make it home.

Played Doc Watson’s Tennessee Stud one too many times during the 15 hours it took us to cross the state. We also played the Who’s little known Rock Opera Quadraphonia. Sad really. Two old high school friends reliving teenage angst from 31 years ago, at maximum volume, but “the kids are alright”

Interstate 40 all the way. Stopped in Knoxville to see the World Fair Site, long enough to take a picture of what appeared to be the largest disco ball in existence. With many miles to go, back on the road. Drove ‘til midnight and pulled into Davy Crocket State park. Beautiful quiet spot. The hot showers were nice too.
