Started -- Day 1

 Highway 61 is called the Blues Highway for the fact that it runs along the Mississippi and was the main north-south path for the musicians that traveled around the Delta.  In reality, it starts north of the twin cities, and I could have followed it down the river.  I opted for speed, and picked up Hwy 61 about 20 miles outside of Hannibal.  Tomorrow, I'll get to Memphis, the top of the Delta and the funnel through with the country blues players passed on their way North.
