I don’t remember exactly where we were but I looked on Google map – you would take the A. W. Willis Bridge from Memphis to Mud Island and turn right. There is a parking area on the left. Then we walked along the river. Another time we parked at the end, close to the Belle Harbour Apartments area. But if you drove along the river from the bridge to the end you would be along the bank of the river. At the end of my current post, dated April 5, 2014, I show a sunset from that area – the sunsets are always gorgeous there, click on http://avagabonde.blogspot.com/2014/04/five-years-of-blogging-already.html.

I'll tell her what she's missing if she hasn't been there. <br /><br />Glad you and husband enjoy all these driving trips. My husband and I enjoyed cross country and driving trips which we'd looked forward to resuming after his retirement, but his health had other plans. I can only imagine where all we might have gone. Do enjoy your travels and each other.joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-13224425438512457732012-07-04T06:48:22.829-04:002012-07-04T06:48:22.829-04:00Wow, those sunsets on the Mississippi are gorgeous...Wow, those sunsets on the Mississippi are gorgeous.

Thanks Mother. I will have to forward the link to my friends so they know where I am these days. <br />And yes, Mud Island did flood last year. I think I may be far enough to be safe though. And there is a back entrance that is very close to my house unlike those that have to go over the bridge - it was closed during the flooding.livininlbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09120180180995727247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-41302036089812572022012-06-30T07:49:19.681-04:002012-06-30T07:49:19.681-04:00Is there any danger of flooding at your daughter&#...Is there any danger of flooding at your daughter's house.

The houses looked beautiful but it seemed awfully empty there. Like a movie set closed down for the day. I found it a little eerie. <br />We went to Memphis in 1998 with our Arkansas cousins, and went to Graceland.
