    Any of you familiar with the Natchez Trace? Its a 444 mile state maintained parkway that runs diagonally through the entire state of MS beginning at Natchez, goes thru the NW corner of AL and into TN.

    The speed limit is 35mph and is heavily patrolled by unmarked police vehicles. The road becomes very monotonous after a while and 35 is hard to maintain. Due to this it's not a drive you want to make in just one day. The scenery is just like the pictures in this article except there is plentiful wildlife seen all during the day. As darkness approaches here come the deer in numbers. You would not want to attempt to drive this road at dark or even twilight. Many fearless deer and wild turkey's everywhere.

    There are no gas stations, hotels or businesses of any kind on the parkway but there's plenty of crossroads that will take you to nearby towns. Running out of fuel will not be a concern if you ever take the drive.

    The Natchez Trace Parkway is a 444-mile recreational road and scenic drive through three states. It roughly follows the "Old Natchez Trace," a historic travel corridor used by American Indians, "Kaintucks," European settlers, slave traders, soldiers, and future presidents. Today, people can enjoy a scenic drive as well as hiking, biking, horseback riding, and camping along the Parkway.

      i coasted up and nudged it with the bumper.
      don't ever do that with a Bison over by the Black Hills, So. Dakota. they are as big as a Ford Excursion!! and they WILL do serious damage.
