We traveled 262 miles through three states and ended the day at Heritage Acres RV Park in Tuscumbia. The route: I-65S from Horse Cave, KY through Nashville to TN-96, TN-96W through Franklin to Natchez Trace Parkway, south on the parkway through TN and into AL to the AL-20 exit, east on AL-20 through Florence to Muscle Shoals, then to Tuscumbia.
The day cleared and the temperature rose to the mid-70s by the time we got to Nashville.
We stepped into a delightful world when we entered the beginning of the 443 mile Natchez Trace Parkway. It provided the perfect setting for a Sunday afternoon drive ... 2-lane road, limited access, no commercial vehicles, no traffic lights, no advertising, and no services. It was so serene!
