Day 19. Houston MS to Kosciusko MS. 87 miles

     I'm back on the road to New Orleans after a short side trip, 301 miles, across Michigan with my grandson, Alex. We survived the 6 day camping and biking adventure unscathed. It was a beautiful route from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron.
     I left Houston, Mississipi early this morning and traveled about 6 miles through town and out to the Natchez Trace Parkway which I was on for the rest of the day. It is a beautiful scenic roadway. The original trail, a series of Indian trails, was made into a road in the 1800's to help with mail and to help solidify the area within the country.
     A great day for biking. Looking forward to tomorrow.
     I took a side trip today to Starkville, home of Mississippi State University.  This was a bucket item list, which the photos do not do justice for.  The baseball stadium has been notorious for its unique outfield seating and fan club which uses cowbells extensively.....you can see why I am attracted...it has all the redneck characteristics I treasure.  I also found an honorary bulldog member in front of the football stadium.
