This is the beginning of our journey...Molly to find her roots at my family reunion in Missouri, and Al to find the history of the Blues following Hwy. 51 south through Memphis, TN and then further south following Hwy. 61 through Mississippi to Hwy. 49 which is the famous
"Crossroads". Follow our trip from Washington State through Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, to my family reunion in Missouri and then to Illinois to visit the home where my grandfather was born. From there we pick up Hwy. 51 to Memphis, then Hwy. 61 to Helena, Arkansas where Al performed at the "King Biscuit Blues Festival" now called the Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival. Once we leave Mississippi we headed for 4 night crossing of Texas (that state just goes on and on), through New Mexico to Arizona where we spent Christmas and New Years then homeward bound north through California, Oregon and Washington.
This was a trip of a lifetime for us yet we are really glad to be safely home. I will do the best to share our pictures on this Blog and both Al and I hope you enjoy our journey as much as we did.
Cheers!
