I haven't personally ridden a motorcycle on the Trace, but these people have...

It's practically guaranteed...
Every time you take a drive in the country, you will see a Tennessee turkey. Usually more than one.
It gets really weird when you're camping or you're in the woods and you start to hear footsteps crackling the leaves and it seems to be getting louder... and closer.
This happened to us once when we were taking a break from offroading & just sitting in the woods. And we weren't sure what to think... Some black bears? Deer? Raccoons?
Nope... just a bunch of wild turkeys!

There are no commercial vehicles are allowed on the parkway. In fact, violation is a federal offense!
The maximum speed limit on the Trace is 50 mph most of the way.
As the exception, rather than the rule, the speed limit dips down to 40 mph at the northernmost tip (from Leiper's Fork at milepost 427 to the Natchez Trace Bridge near milepost 444).

But what a difference a day makes. Just check out this photo of a tree I photographed last Saturday, then again the very next day:
This rapid loss of foliage was due to a very windy night -- one which stripped many of Tennessee's trees of their colorful leaves in a matter of hours.
So, I decided to hop in my Jeep
...with dog in tow.
I wanted to see how the colorful landscapes had changed along the Natchez Trace
...overnight.
