Day 7 JEST

More french toast for me today......man, I'm liking this bed and breakfast thing...I may never stay in a hotel again! The short 70 mile ride to the end of the Trace was as beautiful as the first 400 miles. The hills were getting steeper and as the Trace ended, the double arch bridge connected us to Franklin, Tn. just outside Nashville. It's going to be a tough pill to swallow but on this economic stimulus trip we are forced to stay at Comfort INN for two nights-we have to cut back where we can. Looks like we're having cold donuts for breakfast-we're already spoiled. We are very tired today and haven't really made plans for tomorrow other than we know we will go to the Grand Ole Opry. Hoping for a good nights sleep.

  1. I really enjoyed the Merriweather Lewis monument. Put my name in the logbook last summer. Hello from all the old MMS crew. Bernie says he is jealous about you being in Mississippi (God's country). He wants to know if you ran into any smart people in the state, and did you go near Mississippi State University? R.B.T.

  4. Thanks for checking in on us. We also signed in on the M Lewis log book. Tell Bernie that we signed his name in the book and said "Bernie wanted to be here today but he's too cheap". Smart people? April 18, 19 and 20, I'm pretty sure that I was the smartest one in the state. We've been in Tenn for two days now. Miss and Tenn are beautiful states and the Natchez Trace is a good way to see them. Weather has been gorgeous. Storms came through the night before we started the Trace, this gave us clear blue skies all the way to Nashville. Now, let me guess..... Marilyn is training the inspectors on harrassment? Is the colonel still there or have we had a mutiny? Thanks for the encouragement!

  5. Ralph, is Henry back at work? If so, I need to add him to the email list. Hope he is doing well. I thought of him and Bernie at times on the ride throughout the Trace. They would love it! Bernie would love the gas mileage at 50 MPH.
