6/10/15 - Memphis, TN

T.O. Fuller State Park is where we got a site to camp in Memphis.  It is about 6 miles from Graceland.  After unhooking, we drove to Elvis Presley Blvd. and Jim dropped me off at the Plaza.  I bought my girlfriend a present for her birthday in September.  She is a big Elvis fan.  Tonight for dinner we went to a Diners, Drive-ins and Dives place (later to be written as DDD).  The name of the restaurant is S.O.B. which stands for South of Beale.  Jim had a duck patty melt and I had reuben egg rolls. We were going to order Jack and Coke bread pudding with ice cream for dessert but we decided against it because of the calories.

Parking downtown is free after 5 p.m. and on Saturday/Sunday unlike Houston where you pay no matter what time or day it is.  After dinner we walked down Beale Street.  This three block area is cordoned off and is a walking district sort of like Bourbon Street in New Orleans.  On Wednesdays the motorcycles get together and park in the blocked off section.  There were hundreds of them.  There is live music all along the street.  BB King has a bar, Jerry Lee Lewis and the Hard Rock Cafe are there, too.
