The best thing about being retired and having a fuzzy schedule is that you don't have to take the route you told everyone you'd take. After talking with the RV Park owner's son, we got a different way to cross the Mississippi River. The Garmin liked it and after a quick check to ensure it was generally following truck routes, we headed north out of Murray vice south toward Memphis.
This route took us along I-155 near the area where the Obion River enters the Mississippi. From here it was an hour's drive down I-55 to our planned stop. BTW: Do you know what the difference is between the Oregon Trail of ol' and I-55? I-55 doesn't generally get muddy when it rains. Anyway, stuff generally stayed where we put it in the trailer.
Only issue we had was that the washer/dryer combo unit didn't work. After checking the troubleshooting guide, we found we had hooked up to water, but didn't turn the water on. Oh, well...sometimes you are your worst enemy!

Anyway, God does look out for you. We weren't aware President Obama was visiting Memphis, today. After we got here, we saw on TV live camera shots where they were blocking the interstates in Memphis for the motorcade. Seems this new, suggested route for us was just fine!
Later! David
