Sensational ride down the Natchez Trace Parkway today. This is a bicyclist's dream - beautiful scenery, little to no traffic, and nice points of interest along the way. The full Parkway runs 440 miles from Nashville to Natchez. It was originally a Native American trail and was used extensively by farmers from the Ohio Valley in the
he 19th century as a return route by farmers in the Ohio Valley who floated produce on rafts to southern port cities on the River. The full Parkway is now on my bicycling "to do" list.
Crossed the 2,000 mile mark today. Sadly, the end is in sight. But I am very excited about seeing family and friends back home. I made reservations on Amtrak to take the train home via Chicago later this month. Should be a great way to conclude this adventure. But first I get to pedal across Louisiana!
