Natchez Trace Parkway
This weekend, after almost four years in Nashville, I drove a bit on the Natchez Trace Parkway. It is a very beautiful place to drive, but I must say it would be better with a car full of nature loving friends. Living in this area it has been a long time since I have been on a road for more than a mile and not pass another car, this happen to me a few times while on the parkway.
I stopped at one place and hiked about a mile and a half to an overlook. The hike took me though a beautiful forest. This place was just awesome. I wanted to capture it, but there so much that I could not have done it justice with a camera. Something just have to be seen with your own eyes to really understand it. I took a couple of pictures just trying to get something of this perfect place, but it was terrible.
I was on the Parkway while Leah and Mandy were at a party thing. When I was finished driving I went back to there place, I was just going to relax and watch some TV, but I decided to go for a run since I would be able to check my distance for once. It turns out I am doing better than I thought I was. Compared to all the people I know it is still really not that great, but I made it 2.4 miles. I was thinking that I was doing at most a mile, so very pleasant surprise.
