The Natchez Trace Parkway is awesome

Beautiful, quiet road; good road surface
Gradual grades (max has been about 5%)
Speed limit a mere 50 mph for motorized traffic
Bike Route signs, and notices to motorists to look out for cyclists

So far the only bad things are the non-critter-proof garbage cans (and raccoons, and garbage strewn all over the place; and the huge backlog of work that needs to be done on the NPS campgrounds)
And the fact that our friends Andy and Laura aren't here to ride it with us. I think they'd love it!

For folks in the Ontario/Quebec area, think Gatineau Park - but not as steep hills, and basically a straight line, heading Northeast...

Nice, big trees, grasslands, corn, some cows, horses, birds, historic spots. An awesome ride so far.
