We drove to Tom Sawyers RV Park in West Memphis, AR. They advertise sites right on the Mississippi where you can see lots of river traffic directly out of your rear RV window.

They delivered on that promise.
 |
| Some barges were immense |
 |
| Those traveling upstream moved fairly slowly |
 |
| Those moving downstream whisked right by |
Of course the wreckage on the side of the river and the office on wheels did not fill you with confidence.

We spent most of our time watching the mighty Mississippi from our campsite, but we did venture across the river to Memphis to visit the National Civil Rights Museum.

| Ray outside the motel where Martin Luther King was shot (now a museum) |
A noteworthy event to share--I saw my first sunrise of the trip! (Being an early riser, Ray has seen many.)
