Sunday, we explored more of the Natchez Trace. . .nothing too exciting, but we love it, so we’ll share a few pics. . .
The driving part of the Trace is a beautiful two lane road. . .no shoulders. . .so we quickly decided not to pull the rig here. . .everything would probably be fine. . .but just in case something happened, where would you pull off to the side?
Hiking on a portion of the original Trace. . .okay, posing for a picture. . .one quick thing we found out. . .if you ask where the trail is, you are promptly corrected. . .it is called The TRACE!
A portion of the original, Original Natchez Trace. . .reminds me of the Big Thicket in Deep East Texas. . .
Hiking through the Cypress Swamp
Always prepared!
And as beautiful as the Pearl River was. . .you couldn’t pay me enough to water ski there!
Can you say alligators? Helloooo. . . .
And as always. . .God’s Magnificence is on display everywhere!
Enjoy more pics of the Natchez Trace

Your post brought back some great memories. We did that Natchez Trace a couple of years ago - totally loved it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it Rick. . .can you imagine walking that entire way?
ReplyDeleteThanks ya'll .... the Trace is on our bucket list. As soon as we can get back to the 'tother side of the great river, we'll make plans to follow it along. Also enjoyed Jaimie-Hall Bruzenak's posting about it. They recently explored The Natchez trace too.
ReplyDeleteCandace, we had an entirely different route scheduled to get from Houston to Nashville, but after reading Jamie's blog, we were inspired to explore the Trace. . .glad we did. It's not as fascinating as say. . .Sedona AZ or even Yellowstone, but we love history, so we have thoroughly enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI currently live outside of Jackson, MS and ride the Trace a lot on my motorcycle. Its such a relaxful ride with no worrys about 18 wheelers and commerical traffic to bother me. I enjoy making short stops and reading all the history markers along the trace. I have been riding the trace for 5 years now and still have not seen all there is to see. We have found several great food places along the trace ( well right off it) and one breakfast spot we ride 2 hours north just to eat at. LOL Any excuse to take a ride. I am so looking forward to 5 years from now when I can hopefully start my full time RV living and get to stay a while in places I visit for riding now and get to really know the areas.
ReplyDeleteBill, I'm sure exploring on a motorcycle would be a great way to see the country. . .several folks RV with their bikes. . .you might want to check out fellow RVers blog: http://2takinga5th.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThey travel with two big Harleys. . .I would think finding out how others tote theirs would be interesting if that is how you plan to travel.
The "Trace" was great!
