As it was only a four hour drive to Memphis we were in a panic to leave early, which was a good thing. If you stood in the doorway of the trailer you could see the highway and the highway going south was moving very, very slowly. After talking to our neighbors from Flesherton for awhile we noticed that the highway was beginning to move so only a half hour later than we were planning we drove out of the RV park. Just outside of Memphis we noticed a slow down on the opposite of the highway, another accident with a backup of at least ten kilometers. The vehicles were being removed as we drove by so the backup shouldn't have gotten any longer.

A couple of sites down from us in the West Memphis RV park is a couple from Parry Sound. They are heading to Bentsen Palm RV park which is just outside of Bentsen state park where Ed, Zaph and I like to walk. (about a five minute drive from Oleander).

Ed's cold is progressing so it is a good thing that we are staying put for a few days. Hope he's feeling better by Sunday. In the mean time we can watch the barges go by.
