Because of bridge construction on the Natchez Trace near our campground, we had to load the bikes onto the Jeep and drive to the other side of the bridge so we could explore the Trace north of here.
We started at Fall Hollow where a small creek runs over steep drop-offs to create some pretty falls. Then we rode up the longest hill ever keeping in mind that it will be down hill all the way back to the car. Yeah, right! One of our diversions was at a stop call Tobacco Farm. We rode on a shaded, gravel road thinking it would eventually connect back with the Trace. But it didn’t, so after about 1-1/2 miles we turned around and rode back UP the hill, took a short cut and got back on the road.
We stopped for a picnic at another pull out then about 2 miles further we found a restroom so we could refill our water bottles. That’s when we turned around and headed back. It was very hot on the road and we were always on the lookout for a shady area to rest and drink water. We logged 28.5 miles on our bikes today and our behinds are feeling pretty bruised.
