I'm not familiar with the area around Memphis, but further down many of the old ox-bow lakes and surrounding backwaters are pretty nice. Or, head out west of Memphis into Arkansas and you'll be smack dab in the middle of a migratory flyway you won't believe. Also, you are probably 80 miles from a real nice river in NE Ark on Missouri border ...the Current River. The Spring River is a bit west of that with Mammoth Spring pumping out 9 million gallons per hour of water which is a lot cooler AND cleaner than that around Memphis there. ...Happy trails 8-) ...adieu ...Peyton (Louisiana) ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
