Cathy and I went with our kiddos to the northern end of the Natchez Trace yesterday and drove south until we ran out of day.
Our first stop at Birdsong Hollow, at the Double Bridge over Hwy 96 outside of Franklin, TN

The bridge is HUGE!
It was freezing, we walked over to the base and went right back to the van, it was too chilly for the way we were dressed. We expected it to be about 15 degrees warmer. Darn weather forecast, wrong AGAIN.

This is the Gordon House, which was built to house the couple that ran the ferry across the Duck River.
One of several tobacco barns along the drive.
The girls at the overlook behind the barn, it started warming up a little...
At the parking area for Jackson Falls, the kids found a dust devil making the leave whirl and went to jump in!

We took a short walk on the old Trace, the actual path used by travelers.
This is my favorite spot on the Trace, Metal Ford
After leaving the Trace just south of Metal Ford, we made our way back home via Lewisburg, TN and stopped at Pulaski to grab some food.
