Day 17: Natchez Trace

Today we hiked about 15 miles to the delightful little town of French Camp. We set up camp just outside of town and walked in for a delicious sandwich dinner. Of course, Chris ordered two whole dinners and Jen had to try the bread pudding - yum!

The weather was super nice today and we thoroughly enjoyed the sunny blue skies. A highlight of today's walk was when a guy stopped his car to say what an awesome thing we are doing to walk this route together and take the time to go on an adventure when we are young. We both were grinning as he pulled away.

In other news, Jen's shin splints seem to be on the path to recovery. She could be seen walking backwards along the Trace today, much to the confusion of cars passing by. Between the backwards walking, ibuprofen, and shin massages, her shin is progressing nicely. Hurray!

We are wondering if anyone has some good suggestions for two person card games (Erick? Toni?). We bought a deck of cards but don't know any games.... Thoughts?

Lots of photos today, although a little out of order... :)

  1. 500 is a great two person game, so is Gin. you can google instructions for either, but they are both really easy to pick up. glad you're feeling better jenny!
