A lot of Bicentennial stuff this year. - Take US 61 out of Memphis - will take you to Tunica, Clarksdale, Alligator, plus Vicksburg and Natchez among others. In Louisiana there is also St Francisville (plantations) then Baton Rouge. Best Blues bang per mile.

X3 If you can schedule your trip so that you can be near Clarksdale for the Juke Joint Festival in mid-April. They also have other events throughout the year. We enjoyed the B.B. King Museum in Indianola. You can also visit the Birth Place of Kermit the Frog in Leland. Drive parts of the Natchez Trace Parkway. There are some nice RV Parks and campgrounds along the Mississippi River where you can view the boats/barges going up and down the river. Call ahead, especially in the Spring, because they do close if the river gets too high as it did this year.
