It's getting sad that my trips are becoming memorable based on the food. For example, when I think of my trip to New Braunfels it will be - Onion Rings!
The Good:
Edna, Texas - Maekers Sausage
Amarillo, Texas - Pecan pie with ice cream
Egypt, Texas - Sweet Potato casserole
Memphis, Tennessee - EVERYTHING
Gruene, Texas - Cold Beer
St. Louis, Missouri - Ballpark nachos
The Bad:
Stoneville, Mississippi - Pulled Pork
Forrest City, Arkansas - Meat Loaf (I still can't get past the name)
Columbus, Ohio - Pulled Pork (See the pattern - no pulled pork!)
No Regrets.

Mipple
It is done. The Mid-South swing is over and here is the scorecard:
Drive Time: 26 hours
Miles: 1,498
Days: 3.5
States: 5
As with any trip of an extended duration, opportunities abound to learn more about yourself, the people you are with and the places you see.
What I learned.....
Arkansas is incredibly beautiful in the Fall.
Mississippi doesn’t have any Tejano music stations.
Texas has the best looking women.
My James Bond trivia is not as good as I imagined.
Did I really even watch the Lord of the Rings?
I spent too much time watching Blazing Saddles and not enough time reading CS Lewis.
Life can change in a moment.
Meat Loaf needs a new name.
Communication is better than silence.
Brooke may know every song – EVERY SONG.
You can eat too much Bar-B-Q.
Yellow lines mean two-way traffic.
You CAN win at slots.
I have no fear of public speaking.
Mississippi tea comes in two flavors – Sweet and Real Sweet.
Louisiana spends very little on roads.
Memphis has good food.
I love bridges.
People in Mississippi need to know that you can eat animals other than catfish.
I would miss Mexican food if I left Texas.
No Regrets.
