It was smooth sailing all the way to Oklahoma City today, we are well into our journey through the Great Plains. It didn't take long for us to decide that the "Great" describes the size only.
Bogey (and Tim) began the day with a jog through the campus of Vanderbilt University. Then we drove through downtown Nashville before we headed toward Oklahoma City. We first stopped in Memphis to see the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel and then to drive by Graceland. Other than these two sites, Memphis, TN leaves a lot to be desired.
We continued on, over the Mississippi River and into Arkansas and the beginning of The Great Plains...nothing but flat driving for the next 6 hours. We ended today's trip in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma after a long day of driving. Of course, Bogey was ready to run after he slept the entire trip.
Off to Albuquerque, NM tomorrow and thankfully the end of The Great Plains.
The Lorraine Motel is one of the great sites of American history. I'm so glad you saw it.
