we're planning a trip to Baton Rouge in July. My plans so far are to take the slab to Nashville and get on the Natchez trace. coming back I would like to take the Great River Road to Memphis then slab it back home. Should have 4 to 5 days each way. I've been getting a lot of info on the trip but was wondering if anyone had any good sidetrips or could recommend places to eat along the way. after all we do ride to eat!

Yeah the wife and I tryed it the last 2 weeks of July probably 10 years ago.Never made it past Memphis.The heat was brutal.Probably spent a $100 on bottled water in less than a week.We finally quit getting water and would go into a resturant and get a large takeout cup full of ice.It would be totally melted in 15 min.The next time I go it will be probably the end of September.Good luck with your trip.

Ya but some on you folks up there hate 90F LOL

I gotta laugh when I was visiting a good friend near Kirkland lake ONT. a few years ago. He told the work crew it was too hot to be working and shut down for the day because it was about 90F around NOON LOL
Heck I was just getting warmed up and finally got rid of the chills from the cold night before LOL

Yep,

I was planning to head out to NM. this afternoon but I got the wifes cold flue from last weekend. Mostly over it now but still lot's chest congestion so not riding long cold wet rides this weekend either.

If it were a nice dry 110F I'd be riding out though LOL
