I rode a good portion of the Natchez Trace. I picked it up near Jackson, MS, and rode it up into TN. I stopped, got some pics along the way, then boogied home. The leaves are just starting to turn. I suspect next weekend will be gorgeous. There are a couple water falls, Elvis's Birthplace, and some cool history along the way. I highly recommend the Parkway. It is not a tough technical ride, but the road is well maintained, no stops, and the traffic is light. Watch out for deer though!
