During the last week of September, I traveled selfsupported along the 444 miles of the Natchez Trace Parkway, stretching from Natchez, MS to Nashville, TN. I created this video to share the views and conditions of the Trace, camping options I chose and a description of the Trace and my journey. I was lucky with good weather and courteous drivers along the Parkway. It was a great ride.
