Natchez Trace Video

On my way back from Texas this year I traveled the nearly 500 mile Natchez Trace from Natchez, LA to Nashville, TN. I took a few pictures along the way and made up a short video that you can view by simply clicking the picture in the side menu. The tune is Ashokan Farewell and I put this together with Band In A Box.

Natchez Trace

There is a 440 mile stretch of highway that runs through four US states called the Natchez Trace. Speed limits are 50 mph and there is no commercial traffic. I took this this route from Natchez, LA to Nashville, TN in late March on my way home from Texas. I've put a link to my Picasa album with more photos if you're interested. If you're not in a hurry this is a great way to cruise home without the normal highway hassle. The camping is free along the route.

You can find more information on the Trace here.

On the way along the Trace I took a detour to Vicksburg, VA and visited the Civil War battle site. I also stayed at the Vicksburg, Ameristar Casino RV park (rated a definite ten) and went for dinner at the casino while waiting for a tornado to pass.

Here a few pictures I took at the battlefield.
