Congratulations on a great trip. May the warrior continue fighting for many years yet. Harvey doesn't look nearly ready to retire.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one whose bike talks back. Tell Harvey that Raven and I said hi. Enjoying the journal very much, by the way.

I was pretty sure I had read this a few years ago and now, seeing all the "likes" I placed at the time, verified it.

Also, your pictures of the Inn are better than mine. :-)

Jeff - I'm glad to hear that the journal is helpful, that makes it worth writing. You should have a great trip, particularly so if you plan as well as you can for these 3 areas; Baton Rouge, LA, Jackson, MS, & Tupelo, MS. You will love riding on the Natchez Trace. Best of luck with your trip, I hope you write a journal on this site so we can all follow along with your adventure.

Thanks for writing the journal about the Great Rivers South journey. My friend and I are planning to go from New Orleans to Nashville using mostly the same route you took, so your insights have been invaluable. In fact, yours was the only journal I found discussing the route, so thanks again. I can also see that you put in a lot of work including the stats (which I love) and maps, pictures and videos.

Count this "like" as 10 or 11.

I stayed at the same place when I did the Southern Tier in 2008! And I was the only guest!

Weird - I don't know what happened - it was just a link to a Youtube video - I fixed it, hope it stays fixed this time.
