Bobby Natchez Ride, The loading and getting there day

We loaded the van and the trailer "to the gills" (Meaning fully loaded to you Yankees), left Charleston, SC on time at 7:30am and arrived in Columbia to pick up three more people making a total of 12 people in my van. After a little over 12 hours we arrived at out destination in Clinton. MS for our overnight before Day 1 Ride on the Natchez Trace a Historic highway dating back to early 1800's through Choctaw Indian Territory. Being a National Park, speed by autos is limited to 45 MPH most areas making it a safer bicycling adventure.
