motorcycle-marty.jpg Q: Where's Marty???

A: Apparently on a 'recovery tour' that only requires two wheels and a great sense of adventure!

Come along as Marty shares "turn by turn" and "stop by stop" what it's like to ride your motorcycle along the Natchez Trace Parkway for the first time...


...in the Winter, no less!

According to Marty:

It was a thrilling feeling getting on the Natchez Trace as it has been one of my 500 things to do before I die for quite a while.

Read Marty's entire trip report written (and photographed) at various points along the Natchez Trace Parkway.
