Well, I finally got reconnected with the outside world and got some high speed Internet. Sign of the times... but I am pretty much addicted to computers and the world wide web. I just feel better when I have the Internet readily at my disposal. I made this video several days back while I was in Tennessee camping on the Mississippi River. It was a very nice campground; quiet and secluded. The name of the park was Meeman Shelby State Park and I would recommend it to anybody who wanted to do a little camping in this part of Tennessee while still enjoying the amenities of big city Memphis.

Anyone have any stories from Tennessee they want to tell me?

Tennessee!

Well, I apologize for taking a little while to get this stuff posted. I have several videos to show you below. Beale Street in Memphis was really great. It is like a mini Bourbon Street- wall to wall with live music and culture crammed in with plenty of bars, restaurants, and unique shops and historic sites. It is all packed in to about 5 blocks and sits in the shadow of the Memphis Red Bird's Baseball Stadium. I guess they are a farm team for the St. Louis Cardinals, but they had a game earlier in the evening so there were a lot of fans in red out and about. There were some cool little voodoo shops on Beale Street so I stopped in and picked up some mojo in the form of crude stickers and a money drawing good-luck candle. Lets hope it works! I ate an awesome cheesburger at Dyer's on Beale which has been there around 80 years. After you have a bite of that cheesburger you know why they are still in business!!! I caught some great live music on Beale Street and Memphis is just brimming with musical talent. Apparently, a lot of the New Orleans jazz and music scene relocated up here after Katrina. I had some of that good ol Memphis dry rub barbeque while in town too. The ribs from Central BBQ were delicious and I was tempted to go back and order more! Anyone have any good stories from Memphis they want to share? Post away, my friends! Grrr... well I couldn't get the videos to upload today on the weak internet connection. I am gonna try something else. More to come soon!
