Natchez Trace, MS

Last night we stayed in a cheap hotel in Vicksburg and toured the city a bit. There are lots of old homes, Civil War historical areas and markers celebrating the Mississippi Blues Trail. 

Today we were lucky enough to ride on the Natchez Trace. It's a two lane road that reminds us of the Taconic except there's no traffic. And when we look closer at the trees they are more live oaks and pecans and have Spanish moss hanging from them. We've also noticed fire ants so we were really careful where we pitched our tent. There are no services along the Trace but a  mile off we found Billy Bobs BBQ for lunch. It was really good but Craig ordered a rib sandwich and it was 3 ribs on a bun - bones and all. He figured it out somehow.
