Porter and June Hammil Photos (the grandkids)

Seeing how this blog is somewhat of a bragging forum I had to add the following. Introducing Porter and June Hammil. Of course I'm biasied but these are the best looking babies ever.

Natchez Trace Finished

The day started at the Visitor Center in Tupelo Mississippi.

The first stop today was part of the old trace where 13 unknown confederate soldiers were buried.

Many of the Indian burial grounds were earthen mounds, here are a couple more.

These pictures are of a natural spring with a beaver dam, next to the trace.

I have finished riding the entire length of the Natchez Trace Parkway. It is 444 miles long starting in Natchez Mississippi and ending just south of Nashville Tenn. This is a wonderful national park featuring a parkway, full of history and things to see.  One last thing a short video, hope you enjoy.

Starting the Natchez Trace Parkway Ride

I have run more that half the distance of the Natchez Trace. Didn't mean to, the campsite where I was going to stay was not good. Besides, its pretty cold out and I couldn't  build a fire except in a grill.
I'm in a very nice room in Tupelo Mississippi with wi-fi so he goes.

First picture is the view of Louisiana from my room yesterday. I rode across the bridge so that I can say I have ridden there as well.

There was so much travel that the sides go up ten feet from the path.

Emerald Mound is an Indian burial ground it stands 20 feet from ground level. Picture does not show it well.

Rocky Springs was a nice sized town in 1837 with a population over 2600. The only thing left now is a safe, and Church.The spring dried up too.

This is what most of the trace looks like today.

This next picture is Cypress Trees in the swamp.

This is the fastest internet connection ever. So I will post more pictures on yesterday's post.
