Ready to Leave


Crossing the Mississippi


Seven Model A's from the Dallas, Houston, Piney Woods and Golden Triangle A's chapters left Natchez and made their way to the Trace. Like yesterday, the weather was perfect and everyone looked forward to the almost 300 miles to Tupelo. The perfect weather added to the PERFECT MODEL A ROAD.

The wildflowers are starting to bloom with bright reds, yellows and violets around almost every bend. The dogwoods are also starting to bloom with their white blossoms and hopefully will be in full bloom as we turn around and head back next week.

So far nobody has had any car issues but, as Model A'rs have come to learn, something may jump out and bite at any time (hopefully not me). For some unknown reason I was selected as the day's leader and, as I seem to always do, started and ended the day exploring where no one wanted to go. But as always, it wasn't my fault -- Ms. Garmin gave the wrong directions. Regardless, we found where we were supposed to be and loved the drive.


Tomorrow we make the final drive to Nashville where the actual tour will begin on Saturday.
