No trip across the country would be complete without a stop in Memphis to visit the King.

| Sweet headset for the audio tour. |
 |
| The Jungle Room. |
 |
| A gazillion gold records. |
 |
| The piano Elvis played the day he died. |
 |
| The graves of Elvis, his mother, his father, his twin brother, and grandmother (who outlived them all). |
 |
| Graceland! |
We then headed to Beale Street for an amazing lunch at Dyers (Thanks again, Butler!). Dyers has been using the same grease since 1912 and they use it to fry their fries and burgers and desserts. Oh man were we in heaven!
We had yet to get a deck of cards from Tennessee so we began poking our heads in almost every store that was open on the street. This really great music store was playing some blues and upon entering, we were greeted by the Godfather of Blues himself: Clyde Hopkins. It was his music that we were hearing so we, of course, got a signed copy of his CD.
All this time spent on Beale put us just a few hours behind schedule so we began driving to Gays, Illinois to see a two-story outhouse before staying just outside Indianapolis for the night.

| We definitely thought we were going from Tennessee to Missouri and we were wrong. You can not imagine how hard and long we laughed after we saw this sign. You'd think after two months on the road we'd have a better sense of where the heck we are. |

| Lady reaches 15,000 miles! |
 |
| The ironic part is that we really did have to use the bathroom. |
 |
| Too bad it was locked! |
