Natchez Trace Parkway: Day 2 - Tupelo to Nashville

1-23-15:  Began the Tupelo to Nashville stretch.  Just, wow! Another rainy, chilly day, but wow!

finally seeing some clear water at Glenrock Branch

once again, my fave photographer captured the Beech tree beauties

great little picnic area

pretty  bluffs on the other side

controlled burn at the Old Trace Drive

it's just what it says - a drivable part of the original Trace

gorgeous view, even in the fog and mist

calmness

Starting to feel more like Tennessee

Metal Ford might have been my fave spot on the Trace (doesn't that look like lips)

because it's at the Buffalo River

great spot for a picnic -- when it isn't cold and rainy

these trees just try  to hang on

I love the Buffalo everywhere it runs

familiar Buffalo River bluffs behind Rocky and me

The Old Tobacco Farm

Tobacco Barn

another drivable section of the Old Trace that begins at the Tobacco Barn

One of the funnier sightings - David thought it was their last name

but I suspected it was exactly what it was -- and now I have a new nickname to go with my friend, Jerri's nickname "Ms Boss"

at the end of the Trace 

David's doctor in Tupelo told him about this place. And we are glad he did. Fried chicken, homemade bread, all the fixins with heavy gravy.  Delicious.  Just a good thing I take cholesterol meds!
