Saw a lot of pastures today,
and had a lot of canopy cover, as seen above, for the first half of the day, which really helped get a lot of mileage in early. I left the hotel just north of Jackson around 6:30 this morning. The traffic on the Trace around Jackson was fast and terrible, and I can only imagine what it was like a little later. But then I saw a lot of nature today, like these black eyed Susan's, once I got a little further out of Jackson.
Then we stopped and had some Bar B Q from Billy Bob's BBQ. Lynn went and picked it up and delivered it. Good sag wagon for sure, she did a great job this week. There were not enough water stops along the way for me, so glad she was there.
Here is the sandwich, and a picture of the garmin.
A close up of the garmin shows 81 miles down by lunch, at 11:57. Moving right a long.
And then the count down began, single digits, 9 miles to go.
It got hillier the closer we got to Natchez. I thought it would flatten out as we are close to the Mississippi River and the coast, but no sir.
1 mile to go, so close. ( notice the hill, not flat)
The End of the Trace. The bridge looks very similar tot he one in Nashville on Hwy. 100 at the northern terminus.
Then we headed to our B&B, The Burn, and it's on the National Register of Historical homes. It was built in 1834.
The home is actually 3 stories, but they made it look much more modest from the front. The top floor is over 4000 sq. ft. and has 4 bedrooms. The house was also taken over by the union during the civil war.
This is a fountain in one of the gardens.
The dining room
A couple of parlors
Everything in the house was built without nails, they used wood pegs, including the staircase.
Look at the detail.
This is our room.
We had a great trip. The END. Thanks for reading along with me this week.
