Natchez Trace 1

After an a la carte breakfast of eggs and excellent grits we drive two hours northwest to Natchez Mississippi to start our journey up the Natchez Trace Parkway. Destination Nashville Tennessee.

Natchez was a surprise. A really lovely and beautifully kept town nestled along the Mississippi. Took some shots at the town park overlooking the river before enjoying lunch at a local restaurant.

We drive another three hours dawdling northeast up the Trace to Jackson. The Trace is a beautiful scenic two lane road unspoiled and meticulously maintained.
Another great example of a project completed by Roosevelt's CCC back in the 1930's.

We decide to stop for the day in Jackson and check into a Best Western to catch part of Tiger's Friday round at The Masters.
