Left St Genevieve MO around 9:30 and got back on I55 heading south to Memphis with 230 miles to go. Within a short time I hit torrential rain so bad I pulled off the freeway at Jackson only 30 miles down the road. Sorted out top up for phone and called a few hotels and campsites in the down time. Good idea I had done this as I found out that its the anniversary of Elvis's death this weekend and hotel prices have risen accordingly!! Even the campsite I called was charging over $30 to camp!
So I stopped at the next McDonalds (everyone is going to think I am so full of hamburger!!) and searched / booked two nights in Memphis at a Hotel 8 and Skyped Michelle.
Weather has cleared. Still 150 miles to go!! Better hit the road!!
