Stopped in at the Loretta Lynn "museum" and gift shop on the way to Memphis.
In Memphis, we checked out Sun Studio. Drove past the Lorraine Motel where MLK was murdered. Then stopped by the gigantic glass pyramid that now houses a Bass Pro Shop. It was really fascinating, even though I don't hunt or fish. There were streams and ponds inside the building stocked with fish and one with aligators.
And of course, when in Memphis, one must go to Graceland.
Day 1, April 5. We met at the Wegman's in Chapel Hill and headed west to catch the great solar eclipse of 2024. Drove along I40 as far as Nashville the 1st night. Stayed at a nice little hotel, downtown but not near the river with the bars, clubs and crazy people.
Weather was beautiful this afternoon. Me and the dogs went out for another hike through the woods. I snapped a few pics of some flowers in bloom. I also found a bunch of shells in a little creek (more of a drainage ditch). I was told it was probably the activity of some river otters. Early was very interested.
