There was a well maintained pool and it was warm enough to swim.
I was looking at the vending machine candy and hey look it sells condoms too.
Across the Mississippi river lies Arkansas.
Tugboat with a barge.
Many buildings in the area were abandoned.
Another old building. The South is kinda creepy. I thought I saw Boo Radley in the window.
One place not abandoned was Graceland. Of course I took the tour.
Outside the front door there was a bird singing.
Elvis's music room.
I wasn't an Elvis fan when he was alive, I grew up with the Beatles. I've become a fan since then
The dining room. No flash photos so these pictures aren't grade A quality.
Elvis could watch all 3 channels at once in his TV room. Yes, once upon a time there were only 3 channels
The bar area between the TV room & the billiard room.
The billiard room.
Elvis's jungle room complete with 1970's era green shag carpeting on the floor & ceiling.
The jungle room again. See the carpet on the ceiling?
Young Elvis.
Graceland from the rear.
The horse pasture behind the house.
Then I went to the Elvis car museum. He had a lot of cars. Here's a Rolls Royce.
1974 Stutz Bearcat. He had a 1971 Stutz Bearcat too but it didn't come out because no flash pics.
My favorite was the 1956 pink Cadillac My folks had a 56 Caddy but it wasn't pink.
1967 Lincoln. What a sweet ride.
He had two jets, this is the big one.
This is the small jet.
Interior shot of the smaller jet.
Elvis was famous for giving away Cadillacs. At the Forney Transportation Museum in Denver is a Cadillac he gave a Denver cop who provided security at a concert he played there.
