Road Trip - Day 2

Depature Point: Nashville, TN
Departure Time: 9:00am
Destination: Amarillo, TX
Miles Today: 964.6
Miles So Far: 696.4

Today is going to be the longest day by far. Originally we were goint to stop for the night in Oklahoma City but that put us in to Albuquerque too late in the evening the next day.

This morning started with breakfast at the Noshville Deli. I had a potato knish for the first time which I can only describe as a hockey puck made from 43lbs of mashed potatos, wrapped in dough. It almost killed me.

Potential stops today are:
  • The International Rockabilly Hall of Fame (Jackson, TN)
  • Casey Jones Home & Railroad (Jackson, TN)
  • Victorian Village Historic District (Memphis, TN)
  • The Rendezvous BBQ Restaraunt (Memphis, TN)
  • Graceland (Memphis, TN)
  • Bill Clinton Library (Little Rock, AR)
  • Woody Guthrie's Home Town (Okemah, OK)
  • National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum (Oklahoma City, OK)
  • Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial (Oklahoma City, OK)
  • The 2nd Largest Cross in the Western Hemisphere (Groom, TX)
  • The Big Texan Steakhouse, Home of the Free 72oz Steak (Amarillo, TX)

Realistically, I think we are stopping at Graceland, the BBQ joint, a quick stop in Okemah and maybe pull off on the side of the road for the 2nd largest cross.
