Sun. August 2, 2015 Target parking lot, Memphis, TN.
Officially my first day alone on the extensive US trip after separating from the rest of the group that I was with for a three day music conference in Louisville, KY.
Music has always been a primary focus in my life and has had an extensive impact on most aspects of my life, so to have passed through not only Nashville, but to also have stopped and spent a night in Memphis was an experience like no other. When I awoke that morning, there was music in the trees and the streets. The birds were singing and the air crackled with melodies. Not far away, the Mississippi River permeated the air with an almost tangible sense of tonality and rhythm.
I awoke early – before the sun made a full appearance – and departed my parking spot in search of fuel. Along the road I noticed a man sitting on the median of the Main Street folding newspapers across from the petrol station. So I topped up on premium diesel, strolled across and purchased a paper to a much appreciative and soulful man. I then departed to partake in reading my purchase over a cup of freshly brewed coffee on the banks of the Mississippi.
With the LTLRDWGN and I both full of our premium beverages, we departed once more in search of the coast.
New wheels and tires installed! It definitely needs a slight drop though. I'm thinking the H&R cup kit....
