Happy New Year!! We made it to Memphis. We took back roads of Missouri and Arkansas and made it in eight hours. We saw some amazing back country and scenic settings. We arrived around 4pm and after checking into the hotel we immediately headed out to get our Memphis bbq experience underway. We hit the famous Corky’s BBQ for New Year’s Eve dinner (see review below).

After dinner I dolled up and walked Beale St (Memphis’ version of Bourbon St.) to ring in the New Year. The street was packed. With the Liberty Bowl taking part in Memphis on Friday, fans of Eastern Carolina and Kentucky flooded the streets.

Also, Tennessee is apparently more lenient on drinking regulations than California because they sell alcohol on the street and allow you to walk around with it. It’s not just for New Year's; it's a year-round law activated Thu-Sun.
We plan to sight see and hit a couple more bbq joints on New Year’s Day. USC plays at 3:30pm local time so that’ll work into the mix somehow.
