Between Natchez, MS and Nashville, TN runs a 444-mile-long road called the Natchez Trace Parkway that is listed as one of the most scenic roads in America. The entire length of the Trace is a narrow two lane road and it features towering trees on all sides, open fields, swamps and other landscapes. Naturally, Wikipedia has a much better description of it so I suggest you read up on it there. I got onto the Trace at it’s nearest approach to Columbus, took it south to Jackson, MS and took pictures along the way. At one point I about got stuck in mud… two hours from home and without a tow rope… but my truck was able to pull out of it after kicking it into 4H and slinging mud everywhere. Pictures below.

Once in Jackson, I took my truck through a drive-thru car wash to get the majority of mud off of the body before getting onto the freeway. However, I still had a lot of mud on the undercarriage which I washed off today. There was an unholy amount of the stuff under there crammed into every last crevice available. I spent three hours trying to get it all and finally gave up accepting that it will still be there five years from now. On a side note, my truck appears to be my favorite photographic subject. I need something else to take pictures of. Maybe I’ll buy some more equipment, find some models and get into nude photography.
