Andy and the Natchez Trace behind him
A little rain fell this afternoon and I am still drying out all my biking stuff. Andy had to wait for me at the top of hills at least 9 times so I will give him a bonus of 1 to make it an even 10. Andy is doing well except he complained about a lack of lunch today. We did stop and have some cookies and nuts but he thinks he wanted more. We are unfortunately in the middle of no where and lunches are hard to come by.
The route took us down 62 miles of Natchez trail to Natchez therefore for the day we covered a total of 66 miles. The trace is a lovely road to ride as there is no commercial traffic, little car traffic and spends almost the entire ride in the woods. Along the way Andy and I stopped at Indian mounds and an old Natchez inn that operated from 1800 to 1840 when the steam boat made walking back up the Mississippi less important.
In the last 2 days we have seen about 9 deer a couple armadillos and lots of buzzards. Tommorrow we will start into the first section of Louisanna the last state on the ride. I must say I am beginning to desire to see the ride finish as I am sore and tiried. Maybe I just miss Dave.
Thankful for Today
I am thankful it did not start raining at 8 am and held off until 3 pm hopefully the predicted rain for tommorrow will be a cooperative.
Love and Kisses
