Tourism Opportunities
Just enough to make the ride feel comfortable, yet not crowded. If I wanted a stop every 10 miles then I need to stay on the hwy with my trust GPS pointing to the nearest...We ride folks not stop and shop. A cool stop for a leg stretch is the Meriwether Lewis Memorial ( Of Lewis and Clark) Who died while traveling the Natchez Trace. And Shiloh Military Park cant be beat for a stop and ride through along the battle fields.
