Nashville and Tennessee’s State Capitol

Popped into and out of Nashville this morning, and got a great picture of the capitol building. Then I saw this Lotus. Nate’s dad talked about a classic car show in Cincinnati today.

My last tank of fuel got me 38.4 MPG!

Departing Memphis for Nashville, TN

Thanks to Nate (Fugn Dubbin) for letting me stay at his place, and showing me the best time in any city! This was awesome!!

Memphis

Went to Graceland and signed the wall.

Then we went back into Arkansas to take pictures of the city. There was a fire burning, so we went into Memphis to find that fire. It turned out to be an abandoned paper mill on fire…

We also visited the Civil Rights museum, where Martin Luther King, Jr was shot.

More Memphis

Drove by FedEx’s main hub in Memphis.

Police!

Memphis is Awesome!

We went downtown, and there was a car show!! There was all kinds of neat stuff there.

Tennessee

Staying for two nights here in Memphis, TN. Get to see Elvis and all that! :D

Little Rock, Arkansas

Little Rock has a really neat Capitol modeled after the US capitol.

Now heading to Memphis.

Arkansas

Well, I had this post all ready, but then Firefox crashed and I had to reinstall it to make it work again!
Anyway, passing through Oklahoma: Checotah - the home of Carrie Underwood of American Idol fame.

Departed Oklahoma City for Arkansas

Posting from a rest area near mile marker 200 on I-40 east in Oklahoma. Heading for Little Rock, Arkansas.

Oklahoma City, OK

I met up with Sandrunner, and we took pictures of the Capitol, then went to a cool gas station/resturant on old US-66 called Pop’s. It was awesome!

Drive to OK!

Departed Austin, TX

I left Morio’s place around 5:45. I am meeting Jesse and his wife in Waco for breakfast.

Next stop: Okalahoma City!

Thanks again to Morio and his family for their hospitality, and thanks to the Texas VW folks who came to Morio’s party and donated to the fuel fund!

A few pictures of my car…

Went up to the hill again, and got some great pictures of my car….
