Natchez Trace part 2

 As we progressed north along the parkway the towns got smaller and there were fewer side trips. 

Day 3

 A short walk along a cypress swamp

Day 4

Another Cypress swamp and trail

Lunch stop and another nice walking trail

Day 5

Pharr Burial Mounds AD 1-200

and a lovely nature walk at the Visitor's Center at milepost 266 where we discovered that the next segment of the parkway was closed for construction.

Day 6

Since it was a rainy day and part of the parkway was closed we did a car tour.

We crossed into Alabama, admired the John Coffee Memorial Bridge across the Tennessee River then had lunch in Muscle Shoals

Next we crossed into Tennessee to visit the final resting place of Meriwether Lewis. He died at age 35 and the broken column on his memorial indicates a life incomplete.

Day 7

The final day of the ride.

Finish

I think their total bike milage was about 400 miles

 

Our last night we had an evening at the "Opry" before we headed home.
