Ouch, that stings!
In early June we drove the 444 mile Natchez Trace Parkway. Covid-19 sure has made traveling a whole lot different. We didn't know until mid-May whether we would be able to go. It was dependent on Tennessee and Mississippi opening their campgrounds. In Mississippi they opened all campgrounds to self-contained campers only.
The original Trace Road was traveled by wagons and horseback. In bad weather many places were impassable. There were STANDS (Inns and Restaurants) along the road. The 2 lane road today is 50 mph and no commercial vehicles.
The National Park Service manages the parkway. They have a great map you can pick up at the visitors center. I have posted links to the Old Natchez Road and to the NPS downloadable maps.
I apologize for the number of photos upfront. I also have links to different Civil War Battles and places of interest.
