Yeah, when we go to Dubuque we take that route but family lives west of Dubuque so there would be some back tracking. I need to play with the routing a bit more. -

Interesting you say that. I have always interpreted Chuck Berry's Memphis Tennessee as a story of a young boy who's family moved to Memphis and he longed to see his childhood friend Marie. My wife absolutely disagrees and thinks it is a song about a broken marriage and a father hoping to... -
