I'm afraid this will give you very little overland creds but it will let you see parts of the state few people see.

If you headed south to Bovina (Flowers Hill to Tiffentown) you could check out the old hidden railroad bridge at the end of Warriors Trail.

That's the plan. It's so cool. Everyone needs to see it.
As for google....Andy will take care of that route thing. I'm learning at this point and can't find the bread crumb option

This route is pretty much my "family tree" location. Some great spots in these areas!! (beware of any banjos that you may hear)
Hope nobody sees any of the "rusty treasures" I've been trying to buy for much of my adult life that are tucked away on these roads.

Start collecting here at 8:00.... Would like to leave around 8:30
Please fuel up, ice up, food up before you get here.
There are some stores along the way but with 15 vehicles and 40
People we don't need to try to get in and out of these places along the way.
The plan is to eat as we go. Bring some food and drink.
Of course if we need bathroom breaks and such we will take them
There is nothing from Satartia to Bovina. Nothing. If you have to drop a deuce do it here or in Satartia.

Natalie said she wanted to see house...... Guess she has her excuse now...."hi Julie, our husbands talk on the internet, can I use your master bath to..... Powder my nose?"

It is about 4 hours from here to Bovina.
If you want to bail from there, that is fine. It is on I-20 35 minutes from Jackson.
If you want to go back north the long way we will be going up HWY61 to Onward (birthplace of the Teddy Bear), across Delta National Forest to Louise MS to get some Hoover Sauce then hopefully be in Yazoo City in time to eat dinner.....either at Hines Grocery or Ubons BBQ.
So...either a 4 hour ONE WAY or an ALL DAY. Your call.
