We finally are leaving Mississippi and heading into Tennessee on the Natchez Trace. The Trace is a 300 year old trail between Nashville and Natchez used by Ohio Valley farmers who floated their goods to New Orleans, sold their goods and returned home by foot or horseback. We exited the Trace and visited the Civil War site of Stones River at Murfreesboro. We finished the day in Pigeon Forge, TN.
After a good night’s sleep, we drove through the Great Smokey Mountains National Park - which is celebrating its75th anniversary this year. We had lunch with Barry and Betty McKay, high school classmates (and high school sweethearts) of Don in Ashville, NC and drove to Columbia, SC.
