Memphis - Day Two

We are now in Batesville, Arkansas with Mom Baker for a couple of days. We ran into some problems with the RV - no air conditioner in the dash (pretty important during travel in the summer months) and a generator issue (which was relatively easy to repair). We could have stayed another night (or two) in Memphis to "possibly" repair the air conditioner or drive here tonight and take the RV to Little Rock for repairs. Hmmmmm...the bad ju-ju continues - while we continue to feel optimistic that this will be the beginning of the good vibes. We hope to set off some time on Thursday.

Although I am sure there are thousands of extra milers in Memphis, we were not lucky enough to run into them. We couldn't even find one place to sign as a notary for us (after trying several banks, a fedex, a drugstore...very disappointing).

Visited and toured Sun Studios (where Elvis was discovered, along with Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and more). Lots of rock n' roll and blues history in Memphis.

Ken and I made a promise to work out each day of this trip and I have to say - well...that has not happened. There has been too much intrigue and adventure. Maybe tomorrow (ever heard that before?)

Talk to you tomorrow. Nite~ Carol and Ken

    We still have the generator to deal with, but that will not keep us off the road. Glad to have you on the blog! Things should be picking up as we go into places we have not visited before. Keep in touch. XOXO, C~
