STEP 16:

Visit Graceland Too in Holly Springs, Mississippi. The world’s largest private collection of Elvis memorabilia. The house/shrine is built like a mini Graceland and is COVERED in barbed wire. Even down to the fake blue Christmas trees and plastic lions. The proprietor is an older gentleman dressed in half of a hawaiian shirt and loose dentures who takes massive amounts of speed and methamphetamines and won’t let you get a word in edgewise. We were too scared to take a picture with him ourselves - we ran out so fast Caroline threw up in the parking lot - when he suggested he could marry us off to his suspiciously missing son - Elvis Aaron Presley McLeod - seriously.

in a love affair with america and on the ultimate 3 week roadtrip.

the players:

KATE - 24, east coast native moving to Los Angeles for an indefinite period of time. likes fountain soda, roadside kitsch and 3 dollar packs of cigarettes

MALLEY - 24, LA native meandering the country back to her beloved city of angels. likes truck stop quarter jewelry, bubblicious' caffeine properties, flashing/light up christian signs, and gas station pumpkin lattes

CAROLINE - 31, a southern bell along for the eastern portion of the trek, probably planning to leave us for dead in the Louisiana bayou and steal Kate's car. likes her overactive bladder, men in head to toe camo ensembles and "butt cuddling"
