We moved over to the Natchez Trace near Tupelo, Mississippi (birthplace of Elvis Presley). I tried out my best impersonation but locals were not impressed. Tupelo is a very quaint little town with colored guitars spaced down main street. They were to have a giant Elvis celebration the week-end after we passed through.

The Natchez Trace was a pre-historic 450 mile path between Natchez and Nashville. It was the major transportation route until the advent of the steam engine and paddlewheel boats. Today, the Trace looks much like the Skyline Drive without the skyline. Some of the original trail is still visible.
Moved over to Conway, AK to visit my sister Rhea and her husband David. They raise various farm animals. C.W. and I helped them start a garden; Rhea promises pictures throughout the summer.
We have headed west and south along Interstate 30 to avoid Tornado Alley. We landed in Mount Pleasant, Texas. Hope we made the right call. We are heading to Wichita Falls, Texas and on to Amarillo. After Amarillo, we plan to turn North to Denver. We should be through Texas by Wednesday.
