RoadTrip Day 3: TN/AR

Miles: 475

Things we liked about Tennessee
Good old boys who were knowledgeable about car oil and extremely helpful about how to fix a lack of oil.
Lots of oil places for your car.
Nashville. Surprisingly cool.
Good barbeque Note: not with Tennessee sauce. Avoid that.  Go for Kansas sauce.
Graceland. Because everyone looks good in a jumpsuit.

Things we did not like about Tennessee
Weather
Memphis
Large trucks
The size of the state. Too broad.
Tennessee style bbq sauce (just stay away is our advice!)

**That is mom and me at Graceland. Yes, she talked me into it!

Things we know about Arkansas:
It’s dark here.
And flat. 
That’s about it.  Dark/flat.

We did try with Memphis - we wandered the streets, went to the fancy Peabody Hotel and saw the ducks that they keep in the fountain (long story), and went to Beale street looking for this pie that we heard about.  This awesome awesome pie.  So far, no pie.  Also, no people. For a Monday afternoon, it was a ghost town. 

So, we went to Graceland and spoke to Elvis.  He told me to purchase more jumpsuits and Mom to buy another CD.  We spent 29 tracks listening to him on our way to Little Rock (there is a reason that AR is a flyover state. Just a working theory, but more to come on that tomorrow). 

We dodged trucks.  We went off-highwaying, and we decided to never ever drive past dark again.  It’s DARK out here.  In the...middle....of somewhere.
