Lake of the Ozarks - beautiful area with quaint towns & a huge lake. There's alot of "Good 'Ole Boy's", driving a truck - suspenders half on - few teeth, and go out daily to kill their dinner..
Fourth stop Memphis Tennessee - Graceland was a must see. Famous Beale St. was a great time - Home of the Blues and every place/ corner had a muscian +
playing, very cool..
Southern Question - ever heard of this????
While in Missouri I was talking to others about going to Memphis..
They said - Be careful your a " Mighty Whitey " ..!!! ever heard of this..?
Why I was a Mighty Whitey - I'm white - pretty - blonde - and I have all my teeth.
Hey I was in the Ozarks - there's a town called Booneville ok...
Booneville had a great Casino by the way..
Trip was Aug. 27 to Sept. 10th, since we bought a new car, I call this a
Test Drive..:- 
Oh, Louisiana was interesting - I think Nomad was there Under Cover..??
Fun Trip

Sounds like a great trip Patsy. I've always wanted to visit Santa Fe. I've been to the Ozarks a bunch, I have family there... some missing teeth, no overalls tho really mostly
too short, shorts for men to be wearing
I can assume with almost 100% certainty that the mighty whitey comment was made because you are white. Statistically speaking it is around 62% black according to a site I just googled for an approximate figure but being a former citizen of 'my Memphis' ... I would tend to believe it's much higher now. Most white folk have moved to Harbortown and Colllierville. I said white folk lol.
Memphis is a great city tho. Chocked full of history greats like Elvis and Dr. King. I miss it greatly
and in more than one sense of the word. The crime rates there are just insane now and I could never imagine raising my child there.
