Vacation Day ?




We left Tennessee in a driving rain. Our destination was Vicksburg, Mississippi; our route to follow the Natchez Trace as far as possible. Rain dogged us; but the Trace is as easy to drive as it is lovely. Between the distance we had to cover & the weather, we didn't make many stops. This is a typical view of the fields we passed along the way.

  2. Bobbie, I hope the rains lets up soon for you. Lovely country even in soggy weather but better in the sun!

  3. Jon and I have been reading the Nevada Barr books (she writes a series with a heroine who is a National Park Service ranger). The ranger is stationed on the Trace in one of her books. How cool you got to visit!

  4. We love the Anna Pigeon books--she was our inspiration to go to Isle Royale and the Natchez Trace. We learned that Nevada Barr was a ranger on the Trace.
