We spent about 25 miles in Alabama, hello and goodbye. It was fun while it lasted!

Ah, the life of a bike tourist!!! It's rough!!

Tornado damage outside of Mathiston, Mississippi.

This tornado tore up trees and houses in the end of April. It totaled the local high school and closed 12 miles of the Natchez Trace Parkway, so we took a detour. We talked to a park ranger who told us the story of hiding in his bathroom while the tornado shattered all the glass in his house, threw metal shingles into the walls and ripped the roof off of their house. The damage that we saw was shocking!

Goodbye Natchez Trace Parkway

Last night stayed at Fall Hollow B&B with Bill and Kathy in Tennessee. We ate fried frog legs and catfish. Then finished off the night watching a fantastic lightening bug and star display.

3 states, 1 day

Ended the month by saying goodbye to Ole Miss,a quick encounter (25 miles) with Alabama, and now we are hanging out in Tennessee. We stayed at this great little B&B called Miss Monettas in Collinswood. The owners Diane and Larry were a delight! Now we are off to Fall Hollow.
