We drove through Oklahoma yesterday and Arkansas today following the I40 all the way.

 Tonight we arrived in Memphis, TN.  Here we'll stay for a couple of days, tour the area, see the sights.

 We went out for dinner upon arriving at 6:00. We parked the rig and car and walked the two plus blocks to "Uncle Lou's Famous Fried Chicken".... This is one recommended by Guy Fieri. It's in one of his "Diners, Drive-ins, Dives" books, and we were both excited to 'dine' there. He was right about the food - it's was great, tho all of it was fried - fried pickles, fried carrots, fried chicken......

 The service was great, the people very friendly. In fact, they were quite concerned about us walking in the dark back to our rig because this is a rough part of town, and the young man serving us "insisted" that he drive us back. What could we say - he wouldn't take no for an answer.  

So tonight we'll stay here in our rig in the parking lot of Dollar Junior, and tomorrow we'll visit Graceland!! Y-E-S !! I can hardly wait......
