Elvis has Left the Building






Well, actually, Karen and I have left. I think Elvis and all his impersonators are still there. Especially this week because it's Elvis week in Memphis. He died on August 16 th. (By the way, we left yesterday, Aug 15, I'm a day late with the blog!).

We headed out to get to Clarkesville, TN, (remember the song....."...catch the laast train to Clarkesville and I'll meet you at the station....). It was a day of corn fields, cotton fields, more corn fields and even more cotton fields, lots of them. It was a nice backroad state highway - 55 to 45 mph and a great day on bike along highways 48 and 70. We passed through Paris, Milan (where stopped for a burger at Burger King along the road and the lady said, 'I'm going to make you folks my customer of the day, lunch is on me!' Go figure !! ), Humbolt and Brownsville.

Once we got to Clarkesville, it was only 4:00 (we didn't leave until about 10:30), so, I suggested, let's keep going to Bowling Green, it's only an hour up the road ! and off we went.....(there was a plan in mind !)
