You could probably drive around drunk 24/7 in Baton Rouge and never get pulled over

I am driving to Richmond, VA in a few days to speak and I am thinking about doing 100 miles on The Blue Ridge Parkway. If I do I will report back.
Do that any chance you get.

Just don't speed on that thing. It's hard to stay slow when there is nothing around, but they hide in those pine trees.

If you are not in a hurry and just want a leisurely drive. I have been using it for years under those circumstances.....love it.
DO NOT SPEED!!!! I haven't driven it in about 3 years and it was always around 50mph and it is a FEDERAL TICKET.

Great place to camp and go on a night walk to scare the kids. Its also pretty depressing to read the head stones in the cemetery. Seems like half of them are children. I'm para-remembering but one series of tombstones was some guys wife and newborn, then two kids from his second wife, then his second wife and finally the guy at ripe old age of like 36. I'm sure he was like "frick this world". Yellow fever didn't take any prisoners. Crazy how much better we have now and don't realize it.

Life sucked back then in a lot of ways.
Abscessed tooth?
Sorry brah, you’re dead, & slow and painful-like.
I biked the entire Trace unsupported a long time ago.
Started at the northern terminus and made it to Natchez in five days.
Camped along the way, ate mostly canned food.
Good time, no mechanical issues.
I don’t ride on Highways anymore because of the distracted drivers.

Daytime is a relaxing drive, but I don’t recommend driving the trace at night. There are hundreds of deer milling about that will total a vehicle in a hurry.

I live 2 miles off the Trace and drive it often between Muscle Shoals and Nashville.
I absolutely love it.

If you’re just making a drive to look at wildlife for a short distance it’s ok. Don’t drive it after big storms or freezes with sleet and rain. Those trees will fall with a quickness and no where to turn around. Especially if in an RV or pulling a trailer.
Got some great pictures of my kids playing in Owens creek falls. Didn’t get to see the rocky springs cemetery due to the massive beehive that’s been in the tree there for a long time.

I didn't see a single park ranger out there today. Must have been the annual Saturday picnic

Careful. It’s a federal highway and the fed troopers are assholes they’ll nail you for going 3mph over

Add getting pulled over with road beers on the way to the camp, IN GOLDEN MEADOW (brake light out) and NOT getting a ticket.

Always see turkeys and occasionally some deer on the Trace. Nice drive.

My first co-ed camp out was a 1st United Methodist Church one on the Trace. I've walked every one of the little trails between Kosciusko and the Jackson area too.
Camped with my family at Tishomingo State Park. I imagine it's changed a little since 1974.
