Waited for the fog to lift a little and left Clarksville, Arkansas at 8:15 AM and headed for Tennessee. We stopped at another interesting place for lunch called the Roadside Bar-B-Q. It had good food and the walls and ceiling were painted white and everybody signs their name, etc. on the walls and ceiling with markers. Something like the place in Sturgis. So we signed our name on the ceiling.
Crossed into Tennesee and into Memphis to go to Graceland. What an amazing place and the hisory of it was something too. We took many, many pictures and walked and walked and walked. You aren't allowed to use flash or take videos. Most pictures come our OK but some were just black. Of course if you don't like Elvis you wouldn't go there in the first place but it was real nice and all the security was nice and helpful also. There was Elvis music playing any where you went. I even sang some Elvis Karoke in one of the buildings. I sang "Fools Rush In" with Elvis. That was cool. We took 2 1/2 hours to do the tour. Most of it is a self guided tour so you can take as long as you want. I can honestly say you could spend a whole day easily.
We left Memphis and got a motel in Lakeland, TN were we are staying tonight. Tomorrow we see how close to I-81 we can get.
