Rivers and More Day 4

Day 4

364 miles

Got up early at 530am and looked outside--the majority of the folks were allready outside fishing! We ate, loaded up, and headed out, taking the backroads in a southernly direction. Had the roads all to ourselves, it was great!

We soon found ourselves in Memphis, did the riding tour thing and stopped at Beale street. I stayed with the bikes and let Keith go explore on foot.
I found shade under this statue of Elvis. As had happened many times before, foreign tourists showed-up and wanted to take pictures of the bikes and talk to me about motorcycling.

We decided that BBQ was in order for lunch, punched in Corkys on the gps, saw a location 25 min south in Mississippi and headed there. This Corkys ended up being inside a casino, but we were hungry and ate there anyway.

So, while we were eating a big thunderstorm shows up. This pic is from inside the casino garage where we were parked. Waited an hour before resuming our ride. We rode in the rain for about an hour after that. I gave Keith a hard time for having polished his bike to perfection the night before, thus calling in the rain!

We made it to Vicksburg, MS. The motel let us park under the awning for the night, never hurts to ask (thanks Fisher!) We were tired, so ordered pizza delivered to the room and called it a day. Keith did polish his bike again, and we would again pay for it tomorrow.
