Today was to complete our journey on the Natchez Trace. North east towards Nashville.
The morning was lovely and fine and after we cleared the Tupelo area, the traffic dropped away to almost nothing.
The Trace is a lovely way to get from A to B. Smooth road and green grass and trees. Quite relaxing.

| The last few miles of the Trace get a bit curvy. Nice. |

After 442 miles of the trace it was back in to the real road world. We headed east. Our next item on the agenda is to visit the Tail of the Dragon. So it was jump on I40 east and join the mad throng. Many of the locals here have little regard for speed limits. Makes it a lot of fun.

| We spied this Fisker Karma - a hybrid - complete with solar panels on the roof. |
Ended up at Alcoa for the night, at one end of Hwy 129. Tomorrow should be good.
396 miles for the day
Looks nice piece of road. Great pictures. If you haven't heard we have a new PM.
