On the Road Again - Part 2

We woke up in Mississippi and will go to sleep in Illinois.

We crossed into Tennessee at Memphis the home of music legend Elvis Presley.

We crossed the Mississippi River into Arkansas. The interstate narrowed down to one lane each side. The southbound had two semis in the mud on the side.  Traffic was not moving. Glad we are going north.  We saw our first snow since we left Illinois.

This will be hard to believe but as we saw Missouri in the distance, we could see the sun was shining.  Sure enough when we crossed the border, the sun was shining in Missouri.   This is true! 

This is the first rest area in Missouri.  it had had snow, too.  The rest area looked brand new.  It had a 1/4 mile, paved path around it.  Sandy and I enjoyed being able to stretch our legs before we finished the trip.

This is the bridge on I-255.  We crossed the Mississippi again.  We crossed it 6 times on this trip.

We crossed into Illinois at 3:45.  We should be home by 6:00.  I still have some pictures and thoughts on this trip and because the IPad causes me such frustration, there will probably be 2 or three more posts.
