Day 3, Bobby Natchez Ride

Today (April 29), the ride was from Tupelo, MS to the Buzzards Roost Spring exit off the Nathez Trace Parkway. Everyone was picked up in the two support vehicles at this exit and taken 14 miles to a motel in Iuka, MS because the highway to get to Iuka was unsafe for bicycling. The pictures shown today are Diane and Jeannie in the smaller support vehicle literally covered in luggage as they chose to not ride today and had to sit among the luggage. The first rest stop was at Pharr Mounds (the other picture) telling the history of these mounds dug and made by people who traveled this area between 1 and 200AD. There are eight mounds ranging from5' to 30' in height. The video features Charles and Diane Fox, two very special people who live in Charleston, SC. They arrange all the food for this Bobby Ride, including today, Okra Gumbo with Shrimp at today's lunch stop! Unbelievable!!!
