Today we had to navigate a detour set up by the Natchez Trace Parkway and instead of it being a letdown, it ended up being a treat.

This trip from Tougaloo College to Natchez was a sunny and beautiful ride. October became a nice time to ride that section without a threat of a storm in sight.

We started our day by attending the church service at Duck River Methodist Church. It is always uplifting to see how our hosts celebrate. After service we started the ride on wet roads but no rain. There were drizzles off and on during the day but no major rain or storms. That makes a good day. Several cyclists took the short walk to Jackson Falls, a beautiful little falls not far from the church and right off the Natchez Trace.

Hooray!! We made it to Natchez! It was a huge success after both storms and COVID had put forth so many hurdles over the last 3 years. Natchez was such a welcome site to all of us.
