Walking in Memphis


Well, we made it to Memphis today. It was a long day as we did 636 miles. It would have been pretty tough in bad weather as a lot of the route went through the Great Smokey Mountains. Luckily, we had some good eats on the way. See photo.
On a coincidental note, our friend, Sandy, gave me the audio book, The American Lion, about the presidency of Andrew Jackson, which we have been listening to on the trip. He was born in Waxhaw, NC, the town NEXT to my sister's town and we passed by The Hermitage, Jackson's homestead in Nashville, today. It was closed. Pretty weird, eh?
