Natchez Trace trip.

[Steve S]

Good evening fellow riders. 

My Bro-in-law and I made it back home this afternoon after a trip down to Natchez MS on the Natchez Trace. We got on the Natchez Trace Parkway a little SW of Nashville TN and took 2 days to get to Natchez, with a night in Tupelo MS. We crossed the Mississippi River and stayed in Vidalia Louisiana Thursday night. 

I have been up and down the Mississippi River hundreds of times in my career as a towboater and driven through Vidalia several times chasing boats down for crew change but never spent the night there. We were blessed to stay in a hotel that was right on the river.

Sounds like a great ride.   Wish I could have been there.

The Natchez Trace is very close to my sisters’ home in Franklin! I envy you!

I've been on segments of the Natchez trace and wouldn't mind doing the whole route.  First time on it we were passing quite a few.  In talking to and Attorney I work with he let me know to not get caught speeding on it because it's a federal road.  Getting a ticket on is not just paying a fine you have to show up in federal court. Good thing we didn't get caught 'cuz we hit some of it pretty hard.
