GRR to Memphis
Again, it’s a bit of a tease, as having been there already, we didn’t go into Memphis on this trip — but it is around the end point of this post so it is a good title. We had arrived at the Trail of Tears State Park in Jackson, MO on Thursday, October 18 late…

Our first day of driving on this trip was Thursday, Sept. 26. Straight out I-90 to Baldwinville, NY – just outside Syracuse. We spent the night at Abbott Farm and Cidery. We took a walk around and eventually found our way to the store, where we bought a cookie, some muffins and some apple cider.…
