Day 6 & 7
Hi All,
First of all, Sue, Luigi, & I Did ride to the end of the Trace in Natchez last night, but the hotel's router was down so I couldn't update the blog, sorry. Yesterday we stopped in the town of Kosciuszko Miss. They had a small museum honoring him. In case you didn't know Tadeusz Kosciusko was a military engineer, & designed a lot of forts for the American Revolution. It's also the town Oprah was born in. Then later we stopped at the Ross Barnett Reservoir, which is huge! Unlike at home they allow boating, fishing, & swimming there. It was very hot yesterday so we all jumped in the water to cool down. Boy, did it feel good!!!! Eventually we made it down to Natchez. Natchez is a neat old city that reminded Sue & I of Savannah. We went down to the Mississippi River this morning to take some pictures, then we got back on the Trace heading North. Today we stopped at Mount Locust, which was at one time one of the oldest inns on the old Trace. It was also a plantation at one time too. Then we stopped at several differant places along the way while on our why North. Today was a little cooler then it's been, so we were much more comfortable. We made it back to Tupelo for tonight, and we are actualy staying at the same hotel we stayed in on Friday night.
See ya'll later.

Hi Frank and Sue,
Congratulations on reaching the end of the Trace!
I was wondering how a town in Mississippi came to be named Kosciusko in honor of an American Revolution war hero, so I looked up Tadeusz Kosciusko. There is a good write-up about him in Wikipedia.
Great photos in your other post!
