Winter Excursion 1, Day 136

Beautiful weather today. We left camp around 1000 and headed to downtown Memphis, Beale Street. It is about 3 blocks of bars, restaurants, and shops. At 1100 in the morning it was not crowded, but I guess at night this place gets rockin'!
Here's a view looking east down the street.
The obligatory "welcome" sign.
Tons of bars.
The sign says you can rent this theater for parties or weddings.
Memphis skyline looking northwest from Beale Street.
Jazz is the theme here.
Lots of BBQ joints too.
Beale street looking west.
And the Elvis Statue.
We also did part of the River Walk on the Mississippi.
Looking north, that bridge is I-40.
 Here's Cath and the Wild Viszla. You can see the famous pyramid at the top right.
Memphis skyline from the river looking northeast.
 Another view of Kaylee.
Riverboat rides.
 Closer view of the pyramid.
We ate lunch a few blocks up Main Street at the park.  There were almost 30 food trucks. We had the brisket quesadillas and they were excellent.
 A close-up of the Bass Pro pyramid. This store is huge!
Explored a State Park on the way home. Nice place and if we are in the area again we may stay there. Chicken & Cashews for dinner, a movie, then off to bed.
