Home Of The Blues, Beale Street, Memphis, TN
I’m trying to think how to describe this experience. At first it kind of reminded me of Bourbon St. in New Orleans, the way all the happening places seemed to all be within walking distance. The cobblestone street was blocked off to traffic and some very talented young men wowed us all as they would [...]
A Real Cop? Wasted Space!
We managed to spend part of the night in the very back of an enormous empty parking lot, not in, but to the left of a Malco movie theater parking lot in the Memphis city limits. It was very secluded, dark, and private with tall trees to block others from seeing us. Aside from our van, this [...]
Autozone And The Cool Thing That Picks Up Bolts
We’re resting in a Walmart parking lot in Huntsville, Alabama. The weekly rental places we checked out were insanely expensive. We had dinner at the New China Buffet and it was very good with a nice selection of sushi and my favorite-hot and sour soup, and a great shrimp and zucchini dish. We had our [...]

It’s nice to have a quiet secluded place to relax and catch up on all those neglected projects. We have internet access. The toilet and hot showers are in [...]

Fat Man’s Squeeze, Rock City Gardens, Rock City, TN
We spent the night up on Lookout Mountain near Rock City Gardens, we started our day at the Starbucks across the street. Rock City was great, we liked the “fat man’s squeeze,” the bridges and spectacular views. I also really enjoyed the Mother Goose fairytale cave-originally we thought that would be more for small children, but [...]
Chattanooga: Tea, Beer, And A Pedestrian Bridge
Life was good in Chattanooga, TN. We found cheap parking at a nice park and walked across a pedestrian bridge with grand views of rock cliffsides and artful buildings. We stopped at Greyfriar’s Coffee & Tea shop, where for $2.50 I got my own pot of tea (about 4 cups worth). It was such a [...]
