I'm pleasantly surprised at the cost of fuel and accommodation so far. Around $2.30 per gallon for the middle grade and around $120 for a room at HI/Hampton. Last night was $200 which is good for downtown.
Up at the cracks again, not adjusted yet.
Headed towards Memphis on the interstate,then into Alabama for a while to tick that one of the list.
Had a break at Savanna TN. Took a look around the small civil war museum there.

Next stop Shiloh National Military Park. The site of a civil war battle. Museum, lots of memorials and cemetery. Done in the car with about 20 places to stop.

This is probably as close to New Orleans as well get. It's at least 400mi each way from here and the hurricane in Florida has effected the weather in that region. So it's a pass this time.

This allows the whole of Beale Street to become one big bar. Every bar has counter on the street where you can get a beer and walk along the street.
