(Travel To Keokuk, IA) - Memphis Here We Come.
We really enjoy Memphis. Specifically, we really enjoy eating all the food in Memphis. The city is a convenient stop half way to our first Iowa destination, Keokuk.
We really like to eat when we travel. As such, our trip planning for
this particular day was, "What time do we have to leave home to be able
to eat lunch AND dinner in Memphis? (because we wanted Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken, Memphis TN. and Blues City Cafe).
News flash, we left late, and it took us until mid-way through AL to determine that YES, our GPS picked a different path this year. No problem.
Recently, I've also started collecting Cancellation Stamps in a little Passport To Your National Parks. We also try to find stamps in National Forests if an opportunity presents itself. (Sidenote, this is ME on a trip these days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPLxEwqL4Wg).
So somewhere on Interstate 65 in AL, I decided to see where we could stop and get me some stamps! The answer was Tupelo, MS so we rerouted and got to the destination with the stamp(s) about 15 minutes after it closed. Not be be deterred we explored the Natchez Trace Parkway and a few other National Park areas in Tupelo before we continued to TN.
Lunch in Memphis was now well behind us and we pushed to be able to have dinner at Gus's. Luckily we made it there about 15 minutes before they closed. I hope someone from Gus's reads this because BOSTON (a fellow trail runner/athlete) was an awesome host/server/conversationalist. We ate, a lot and then walked up and down Beale Street enough to eat, again, before we crashed at the hotel.

Foundation.
