Day 28: Natchez Trace

Today was supposed to be a rainy one, but it still has yet to rain. That might be changing very shortly though!

We walked 14 miles today and got to see some Native American burial mounds along the way. We continue to be amazed by the history that we encounter here. We have also noticed that the terrain is becoming much hillier and the road much more winding. This change makes finding campsites a lot easier! Also, we walked over the Tenn-Tom Waterway, a 450 mile engineered waterway from the Tennessee River to the Gulf of Mexico. We ended our day slightly early today because of a threatening sky and the desire to relax and read a bit. We also were able to explore our camping area (see the photos of us in the field). The other couple photos are of the burial mounds and some views along our route today.

  1. Gorgeous photos, guys. Hey, I was wondering how you know where to walk, and if you're just sort of forging your own trail, or if there are paths, or what! :)
