Looking up at Fontana Dam

 

West of Murfreesboro - getting close to the Natchez Trace Parkway

 

The Natchez Trace Parkway
The current 450 mile roadway roughly follows an old trail from
Nashville South to the Port of Natchez

 

One thing I love about this road is that the traveler is shielded from the outside world.
Cross roads are few, but where they occur, the Trace is often bridged above, with the crossing road being 'jogged' such that when you are crossing over the road you can't see straight out to either side.  The crossroad is bent 90 degrees and trees are abundant.  See picture

 

Off of the Trace and onto side roads

 

Had to stop and take a pic - 35353.5 miles

 

And here's where it was. . . .
(why do I bother documenting stuff like this - with this much detail????)
