The two RV Gypsies
Mud Island in Memphis, Tennessee
July 28, 2018

FYI:check it out Visitors should view Mud Island 2014 before continuing on this page because it gives a much better overview of Mud Island. There will be a link at the bottom of Mud Island 2014 that will bring you back here. Both sections are quite different from each other.

The two RV Gypsies had to park in a different parking lot than they did in 2014, because that parking lot was no longer open. This time they had to pay to park. And then they had to walk over a long crossover bridge that was not there before. At the end of the bridge, Seth and Gabby walked the crooked walk on a "Mississippi River" yellow line.

Although the two RV Gypsies have been here before, Lee's nephew Lou, his wife Gabby and son Seth were here for their first time.

Since the two RV Gypsies took lots of photos in 2014 of the Mississippi River's layout, they did not want to duplicate too many this time, so they took a few signs, and mostly pictures of Lou, Gabby, and Seth.

Leaving Mud Island, the two RV Gypsies got a view of the crossover bridge and Bass Pro Shop.

From the crossover bridge, Lee saw a red sign quite a distance down the street and thought it was a Santa Claus hat, but since that would be strange this time of year, Karen Duquette took a picture and zoomed in on it. It turned out to be a Fire Station sign and a fire dog.
