We went over to Elvis' birthplace and took that tour.  Not sure it was worth the price but we did get a good sense of where he got his musical roots.  They had a re-enactment of a church service and the preacher was the person that tutored Elvis on the guitar and if you watch this guy play his guitar to gospel music, you can see clearly where that first influence came from.  We also enjoyed seeing the Tupelo Hardware Store where Elvis' mom took him to buy a birthday present and while he wanted a rifle, she opted for a safer guitar and told him that he needed to learn to play that and see where it takes you.  He did and .....


Weather update: We knew that today would be a rain day and a good storm has now passed us with no real impact to us.  We will be in all day, boning a roasted chicken we bought at Wal-Mart so we can make BBQ sandwiches later on.  We also found more GeoCache locations in this campground so we will be doing that over the weekend when the ground dries up some. Weather behind this storm is supposed to be really nice...sounds good to us !  xxoo  Happy Tax Day !  TML
