Clarksdale, Mississippi
We drove straight from the Little Rock airport across the river to Clarksdale, Mississippi.
We stayed in the three room Electric Blue Shack -- now improved with air conditioning and
indoor plumbing -- at the
Shack Up Inn. We went shopping for groceries and picked up our Walmart order, then
had lunch in town. We went to the Delta Blues Museum and had dinner at Abe's BBQ (open
since 1924!)

We're not sure what this concrete was for other than running
This is the back entrance to our shack
Evan liked the rocking chairs on the porch outside the lobby
A bottle tree is good luck. This one glowed at night with solar patio lights.
A decorative (?) old truck outside our shack
We visited the Delta Blues Museum after lunch.

The shack had a fully functional bathroom tacked on to one side
Supposedly Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at this intersection.
Evan really liked the bottle tree.
