Memphis and Harding Trip Pictures

Here are a couple of very interesting pictures from our college tour trip to Harding.

What did these cows do? This was on the back of a semi. There are lots of good mottos for eating beef. This is not one of them.

I missed a turn in Paragould, AR on the way back, and it was fortunate, because I have now been to Goobertown, AR. Now I only need to go to Toad Suck State Park (yea, that's an Arkansas state park).

These next pictures are from the Memphis trip that Ashley and I took as part of her birthday present. We went to the Memphis Zoo, the Gibson Guitar Factory, the Rock N Soul museum (no photography allowed), had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe on Beale Street while we got out of the rain, and then we noticed that the Memphis Grizzlies had a preseason game at the FedEx Forum, so we got cheap seats and enjoyed the game. Everything but the zoo is right off of Beale Street. It was a great trip.

Meerkats at the zoo. We saw lots of stuff, but this was the best picture.

This is an early stage of a Gibson guitar. The tour was great. In the Memphis plant they make semi-hollow electric guitars, like the Les Paul that Slash plays, and Lucille that BB King plays. Guitar Hero made this more fun, because I could identify some of the guitars as they were being made.

The view at the game. No one was there, so we got to move to the front of the upper deck, from $5.00 seats to $40.00 seats. The second is the picture of us that was supposed to have the scoreboard in the background. Instead it cuts off my forehead and you can't see much else.

It's a good thing you didn't blink are you would have missed Goobertown. What where you doing in my part of Arkansas?
