Natchez Trace Day 3

Today we completed our planned 62 miles from Ridgeland to this town with a name I can't spell. Susan, you could look it up and add it in the comments.

We had a first -- a state trooper (off-duty) pulled us over to tell us we couldn't ride side by side. We didn't anymore. We also had a nice chat with a park ranger at one stop. He was an example of a fine southern gentleman unlike the first guy.

The road flattened out some today and the going was a bit easier. We did miss the down hill but not the uphill. We got our average pace up to what we normally do unloaded at home.

We ended the day at a nice little bicycle-only primitive campground on the Trace. It is unfortunately also within earshot of a state highway but hopefully the locals will turn in early.
