When we got to Memphis, we detoured slightly to get to Graceland. When we arrived, the first thing I found out was that I was going to have to pay to park the car & trailer. Unfortunately, at that point, I didn't think to ask the girl at the parking booth about what it would cost to actually see the mansion, etc. We parked the car and started walking to the ticketing area.
When we got there, we discovered a few things ...
First, it was going to cost $68 for the two of us to go on a tour to see the mansion. That price included the mansion only, not the King's jet.
Second, we couldn't even see the mansion from the ticketing center, so if we just wanted to grab a couple of quick pictures of the outside, we couldn't even do that.
Third, even if I did want to pay the money to go on a tour, we were going to have to wait quite a while, as there were a lot of people already waiting.
So, after getting our picture at the entrance to the ticketing center, and a partial picture of the King's jet behind the fence, we left. Elvis, if you are still alive, you owe me $15!!! That will teach me to do my homework!
After leaving Graceland, we got back on the road and continued our journey to Mammoth Cave National Park. When we arrived, not surprisingly, we discovered that we didn't have any cellular connectivity. It looked like it was going to rain, and the forecast was calling for it, so we got the trailer set up and then drove about 10 - 15 minutes to the town of Cave City, KY, where we were able to get online.
We then drove back to the campgrounds, made dinner just before it started raining, and then played games for a while. In the morning, we're going to go and take a tour of Mammoth Cave. Unfortunately, the forecast for tomorrow isn't too good. The good news, is that for the tour, it won't matter ... we'll be in a cave!!! The bad news, is that after the tour, it's going to be tough to find much to do in the rain. We'll have to see what we can come up with.
