Valdosta, GA to Memphis, TN

Medical update - A rather uneven day - Dorothy had a poor night with breathing problems from adjusting to the drier air.  She strengthened through the day but the cough returned with a vengeance tonight.  It is probable that we drove too far today although she did travel well and we enjoyed the sunny afternoon.
Our journey today - It was +17C with light rain when we left Valdosta.  It gradually cleared and became cooler as we drove along.  It was a brilliant sunny afternoon and became a clear starlit night.  By the time we reached Memphis tonight it was -3C.  Today we crossed much of Georgia, all of Alabama, a corner of Mississippi and about 4 kms of Tennessee.
Some history along the way -
We came through the area of Georgia where Jimmy Carter had his "peanut farm" years ago. [Actually, there are no small peanut farmers.  It takes a lot of equipment and resources so that "peanut farmers" are actually fairly large business operators].

We were near Montgomery, Alabama - home town of country singer Hank Williams who I remember singing on the radio when I was a child.
We passed through Tupelo, Mississippi, birthplace of Elvis Presley, 76 years ago next week.  I didn't realize until I drove the road tonight that the distance from Tupelo, where Elvis' life began, to Memphis, where it ended, is the same distance as from Mannville, AB to Sherwood Park, AB.  [What about that, Gene?]

And finally, many houses in the south are low risers with no basement.  An example below:
