Tupelo

We have a 43 foot rig and pull a Jeep. We are on the 444 mile national senic byway from Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, TN. The Natchez Trace began as a footpath for Native Americans 8,000 years ago and is a two lane, 50 mph roadway today. The road is great BUT most pullouts are fine for Class C but tight for 5th Wheel, towable or Class A. It is a very relaxing drive and tonight we are 1/4 mile off the Trace at Barnes Crossing Campground with full hook-ups, wifi and cable for under $40.

Bicycles on the Trace get to use an entire lane! This might not be so bad but some do not have lights and they are in the shade or an area where sun shines in slits through the trees and they are hard to notice Another problem is that since they get an entire lane some ride a zigzag in their lane or double wide and  it is a worry that they might get over the line or to close as we pass. We spoke to three riders at one stop and they were very bold in their desire to take up their lane without a concern as to how hurt they will get if they get hit!
