One disappointment on this trip has been the discovery that we really aren't seeing all that much of the river. In Louisianna, the river was close by, but hidden by the levees most of the time. The Natchez Trace took us away from the river for a couple of days, and it seems that we only got a glimpse on those days when we had a bridge or ferry crossing.
That's one reason this particular day was so special. Another reason was that we were on bike paths most of the day! What a treat. The only real flaw for me was the couple of miles of gravel on a path that was under repair or construction. We had to walk our bikes or risk flat tires, so most of us chose the walk. I didn't even really mind the flat tire a couple of miles from the hotel, as the day was so good overall.
I'm sure I must have a photo from this day, but I am so far behind and having lots of trouble downloading photos, so I'm going to put in this photo of Stephanie, taking advantage of someone's porch swing. Stephanie is famous for meeting interesting people and for taking her sweet time getting from point a to point b! She spent a long time on this swing, and lucky for me, because I left my helmet sitting next to her when I headed out. A few miles later, Jan and Pat caught up with me and asked what had happened to my helmet! Luckily, Stephanie and another biker rescued it for me!
