Red Bay, AL to Nashville, TN

Friday, July 30 - Nashville, TN

Having completed our service work at Tiffin Motorhomes in Red Bay, AL, at about 2PM Central time, we decided to head out for Nashville, TN for a day or two. We traveled along the Natchez Trace Parkway, which we entered in Mississippi, and followed for approximately 150 miles into Tennessee, just south of Nashville.

If you have never traveled this parkway, you have to put it on your "bucket list". The scenery is gorgeous every inch of the way. In addition, there are NO TRUCKS on this roadway, so it is very smooth and relaxing to drive. We did take a few photos along the way, which you can view after reading this post. However, for the history and more photos of places to visit along the parkway, click on the highlighted link, above. There, you will find lots of information about the Trace, much more than I can give you here.

We are currently staying in a campground just north of Nashville, TN, on Highway I-65. We arrived here late this afternoon from Alabama, as I mentioned above. Tomorrow, we will take some time to visit some of the local attractions in Nashville, such as the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Grand Ole Opry, the Ryman Auditorium, whatever we can find the time to visit. Who knows, maybe we'll even bump into someone "famous"!

On Sunday, we will head north to Louisville, again, to do the sightseeing we didn't get to do last week when we were there. Hopefully, this time we will not encounter the violent storms we had here last year at this time. We'll keep our fingers crossed!

Be sure to return to this blog for updates on our visit to Nashville and Louisville.
