Day forty eight - Saturday

Up early and off to Memphis today. We left Nashville at about 8:30 a.m. and headed west. As we passed through the mountains, and I use that term loosely, I noticed the first signs of the fall colors. Many of the trees were yellow and red as well as green. Very pretty, but not the dramatic colors as seen in pictures. A local explained to me a week or so ago that its been so dry back here that the fall colors are not developing as they normally would.

We pulled in to the Tom Sawyer RV Park in West Memphis at about 2:00 p.m. It's right on the Mississippi River. We're actually in Arkansas, across the Mississippi river from Memphis Tennessee. We have reservations for two nights but it looks like we're going to extend a couple of nights because we're finding so much to do here. Besides Graceland, there's a zoo with Pandas, the Sun Studios where Elvis recorded his first song, riverboats and other stuff. Unfortunately we're supposed to get rain on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, so that may make things a little soggy. We'll see.

I did do some fishing in a pond at the RV park. I fished for about an hour and caught one fish. I'm not sure what kind of fish it was. It looked like some kind of a cross between a bass and a crappie. At least it fought hard.

We had a game of Scrabble and BBQ for dinner. We spent some time on the computer checking out the options in Memphis and watched the Red Sox tie the series with the Indians. It was a good day.
