Greetings from world famous Elizabethtown Ky...... (don't know what it's famous for).

I mentioned Turtles name at the hotel front desk...... they charged me double. :D
Tomorrow Nashville, TN for some sightseeing, then to Clanton Al.
Did the tourist gig in Nashville. Ragmama was a bit disappointed not being to see the Ryman Auditorium.

Tomorrow we're heading to Panama City Beach.
Say hi to my niece for me. Her husbands family owns 4 Little Caesars down there including the one by the beach.

I've always stayed at the Petro! I've been told don't stay at the TA across the street. I think now the TA and Petro charge $20 a day to park, even in the front.
I second the Petro

The $20/day parking fee can be absorbed by purchases, including the restaurant. Two people, one good go at the buffet, you're there. A bit high, but it keeps the transients out. There is a security guard on the job, and they enforce the rules! Kinda sad for the homeless, but in a place of usually excellent weather, they hafta do what they can for the paying customer, I guess
So let me get this straight, you in a cargo van had to pay $20 a day to park in front at the Petro?

Yes, but not as a separate fee. The first day I was there, the restaurant bill covered it. The next day, a new privacy curtain, etc. IIRC there was no third day, cos we got out and went to Alabama

Not that it's a bad place.
Nowadays any place can be good or bad, depending on the availability or lack of loads. Supply - demand is not balanced, I guess.
But then again, tell me where it's good, and in few days everyone will drive there to over-saturate the area with expeditors.
I was just set to go home, so Memphis was not on the priority list of destinations.

Sometimes, when weekend approaches, and you know you'll be in the area for a while, you have to splurge and get a presidential suite. Especially if you are driving that many "high paying miles".

Yup, we splurged on a $60 Travelodge. Might go all out on upgrade to a Super 8 tonight.
