"Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you..."
As it happens, our routing on this trip, including all the detours thus far, comes out to 2,917 miles.
...Funny enough, putting the 1458.5 mile mark, in the middle of the bridge crossing the Mississippi river into Memphis.
Of course the last few days have been far harder (and slower) then we expected, but it looks to be RELATIVELY clear weather from here.
Now... We had to celebrate the half way point... And this IS Memphis.. So there was only one option...
BARBECUE!
it's a moral imperative.
For today's meat festivities we chose a pound of rib tips, and a 1/2 pound each of pulled pork and shredded brisket; from the world famous smoke joint, Toms BBQ.
...now its on to Johnson City (7 hours or so), in time for a late dinner.
