Quick stop at Dockery Farms in the Mississippi Delta, often called the birthplace of the blues. Legends like Charley Patton helped shape the sound here that would eventually influence rock and roll. Pretty cool to stand where so much music history began.

We stopped at Abe’s BBQ in Clarksdale for some Mississippi barbecue. Brooks tried his first tamale, smothered in chili. It was decent, but still couldn’t match my mom’s tamales.

7.5 gallons

78.3 miles since last fuel stop. Decided to grab fuel after “lunch”. About to head to some distant back roads and no gas stations on the horizon till closer to Memphis.

May be just this gas station but didn’t want to take fuel. Eventually got 7.5 gallons in it.

We know who we are! We're three guys playing off-road expeditionists, disguised as guys who know how to read a map!"

Driving on part of the Trans American Trail.

Transmission mount has left the chat, right rear brake wheel cylinder is not interested in braking anymore. Onward!
