Easily a 9 out of 10 compared to many of the roads in Southern MS and LA. Hwy 587 between Columbia and Monticello is an amazing ride with plenty of twisties to keep you on your toes. The route provides good elevation and relief with fast sweepers, tight 90 degree turns, and blind corners. You can maintain decent speed through the entire route with road signs providing accurate information about upcoming corners. The road condition is okay but not great. The asphalt has eroded in many places leaving tan surfaces that are difficult to discern between hard surface and gravel. These patches can be a bit unnerving in the corners, but overall, very few turned out to be gravel. This is a "must ride" route if you like corners.

This is our favorite stretch of highway! We call it the "Tail of the Possum". A friend of mine that is in a Trans Am club told me they love that run as well, and he came up with the name. We like to run a loop from Sumrall, out 44 to Columbia, up 587 to Monticello, then back down 42 to Sumrall. We probably won't do this ride again till the temps are in at least the 70s, but would love to have some new friends along on this ride. Give me a yell!
