Torrential rain on the road to Memphis -TN, Thurs 8th Aug

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!!
