Natchez trace trip

655 Views 17 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  bking
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!

At the north entrance to the Parkway just outside of Nashville is the Loveless Cafe, a great place for breakfast. A few miles south just off the Parkway is a historic community called Leipers Fork. If you're there around lunch, don't miss Puckett's Grocery, a combination grocery, gas stop, and cafe. Great plate lunches and the best burgers and bbq around. Several miles of side roads through scenic horse farm country.
bking, if you need info on the Tupelo area with places to camp, motels, or to eat, I'll be glad to give you some suggestions. BTW, you can rest assured that July in Mississippi is HOT and HUMID.
On my ride to Left Coast last year, we rode in temps varying from 26 degrees and snowing in Mammoth Lakes, Ca to 104 degrees in Childress, Tx.. Neither one was comfortable but the ride was worth it.
JUST RIDE!!!!!
