N is for Natchez Trace Parkway


A Drive through History

The Natchez Trace Parkway is a 444-mile drive through exceptional scenery and 10,000 years of North American history.  Used by American Indians, "Kaintucks," settlers, and future presidents, the Old Trace played an important role in American history. Today, visitors can enjoy not only a scenic drive but also hiking, biking, horseback riding, and camping.
That was taken from the National Park Service website.Part of the "Trace" runs through Tupelo, Mississippi where some of Darling Man's family live. We sometimes go and take his mom out for lunch on Saturdays. We discovered it's easier and more scenic to use the Trace to get to where some of the restaurants are that we like rather than drive through the stop and go traffic in town. 

It really is a beautiful drive if you can fit it into your travels.
N was almost for Nothing because a tree fell down and took out our telephone and internet for the weekend so that's why this on is late.
