Day 113 - Monday, March 25 - A Day at the Memphis Bass Pro Pyramid

 First we took a morning walk over to look at the tree houses by the river. One of them had a rickety stair tower for access.

Lydia is on her way up, Nolan had decided the stair tower is to unstable.

Lydia made it to the top. Nolan is giving it another try.

Then it was across the river to Bass Pro. Lydia and Nolan did some target shooting, the arcade type shooting gallery is right inside the front door. Then it was up the tallest free standing elevator in North American, 300'.

On the way to the elevator we saw this lady cleaning one of the aquariums.

Then it was up the elevator and out onto the balcony. The balcony floor is concrete up next to the wall of the pyramid, then it is glass. You can see through all the glass floor panels but most have dark stripes across them. The panel that looks dark in the photo below is one of the clear panels.

The care you can barely see through the glass is 300' below.

Nolan and I got our picture taken while we were standing on the glass.

A view of the I40 bridge over the Mississippi, from the balcony.

Lunch at the top of the Pyramid. Note the scratched up table and no table cloth. This level of ambience and a catfish Po Boy with fries was $22. Lunch was $120 after spending $42 to ride the elevator up to the restaurant. Take lots of money if you plan on checking out the Memphis Bass Pro.

Then it was back down to the main floor from some bowling.

The big TV screens were playing different sports events.

Weather wasn't good today. Temperatures were in the low 60's and the winds were 20-25 mph with gusts of up to 50 mph. While out  on the balcony at times the gusts would blow you over a couple of steps.

God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours. He has blessed me.
