Tunica, MS: We were scheduled to spend one day here but since there wasn’t enough water at Memphis for us to dock where we needed to dock, we continued on to Tunica which is just a few miles south of Memphis. The buses ran all of our Memphis tours today from Tunica and we leave here tomorrow around noon, I believe.
Tunica has the nicest cruise ship docking facility on the river so far: covered floating dock, covered bridge to shore, a large waiting facility up on the bluff, very posh. I seem to remember an excursion boat operates here in high season, which this probably is not. I seem to remember our friends Pam and Sam joined us for a couple of hours on the river.
It has rained pretty much all day, the wind has been substantial, and it is chilly outside. We looked at the weather and decided to spend the day aboard, instead of taking a bus to Memphis.
We’re wondering if this storm is the fringe of hurricane Helene that has hit the west coast of FL? Since our flight home on Tuesday goes via Atlanta, we’re hoping that busy airport has recuperated from the storm by then.
