Graceland RV Campground - Memphis TN

Down at the end of Lonely Street, behind Heartbreak Hotel:

was our campground where we were not so lonely.  The campsites are full hookup pull-throughs (little tight though):

We hit Beale Street in downtown Memphis later our 1st night.  Beale street is block off from traffic for 2-3 blocks:

We got beers on the sidewalk and walked the length and back.  All along the way were restaurants with bands playing.  Several bands were also playing on the street:

and other in the alleys:

We ended up at BB Kings for some awesome ribs and entertainment!

A couple of different bands played this night - both were excellent!

Another day we went on a riverboat ride on the Mississippi:

While cruising in Arkansas waters we had a great view of the Memphis skyline:

We also cruised all around mud island - originally formed around a sunken ship is now a tribute to Memphis and the Mississippi River:

Another day we hit Graceland (Elvis's house & museums).  The house was very nice 70s style (inside especially) but very modest for a king:

Not sure what style you call this other than Elvis style:

There was green shag carpet on some hallway walls and this room, where he hung out with his buddies playing pool, was lined with material on the ceiling and walls:

There were several places where Elvis' gold and platinum records were on display (never realized just how many top hits and movies he had done) including his racquet ball court converted to trophy room:

If you're a fan of Elvis, this is a great place to visit.  We also checked out some of his cars and his airplanes on display across the street.  This area of town is a little sketchy (used to be country when Elvis' house was built here).  We went to the other side of town one afternoon to Shelby Farms park:

Lots of people visiting and using the park - big place!  We took a bike ride around the park and down the 7 mile Green line trail.  The trail was nicely paved but it passed along some shady areas (like 3 prisons) in addition to some nicely wooded and water areas:

There are even buffalo roaming here in the fields:

This was a good take even on a 90 degree day with high humidity and 20mph winds!  We're off to Branson Missouri now.  More to come . . .
