Taking the Trace North part two ...

Leaving Tupelo on the 6th of July we headed towards our second border crossing into Alabama. We camped for the night at Colbert Ferry. Taking a well deserved dip in the Tennessee River after a 60 mile day.

The next day we road over our third border crossing into Tennessee having only clipped the north west corner of Alabama. We road another 55 miles up the trace taking in some of the lovely Tennessee country side to our campsite for the night at Meriwether Lewis.

On the 9th we had a short but mighty hot day as we headed into the little town of Fly Tennessee for a rest stop and ended up spending the night. Upon arrival we were greeted by some of the friendly locals hanging at the general store. Wilson the owner helped us out with camping spots and made us some awesome cheese sambos.

In the morning we continued on our last and hilliest leg of the trip. We made it to the end of the trace by lunch time and hit the Loveless Cafe for a mountain of their delicious biscuits before we headed into Nashville.
