Return to Arkansas: Part II-Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

So, picking up where I left of a while ago, I'm Westbound; leaving Georgia and entering Alabama. I had to meet a close friend of mine to deliver a gift which didn't arrive to me until after our graduation. Being Native American, he decided to make me wait for at least half an hour before he finally arrived. I guess this is his chosen method of passive agressive revenge for what my people did to his people. (I'd love to see what he does to someone who offers him a blanket.)
Following the gift exchange, wherein I was given this arrowhead which he, John, made himself, I once again started my journey back to Arkansas. Interstate 20 to Birmingham, then HWY 78 to Memphis. From there, Interstate 240 to I-55. Just long clips of slab with not much to stimulate the eyes. Nothing of any particular interest happens for this leg of the trip other than the stretch of road which is constantly under construction in Memphis, TN. Driving that moving van with a wagon attached through an area known for horrendous drivers with very narrow lanes which are surrounded by K-rails can be slightly nerve-racking. Thankfully, I made it through the war zone unscathed.


All my belongings.
Together, they're worth 25 cents.
