Yeah. After doing that Traverse I felt like I had to start documenting this stuff

Same here.. for a lot of years I relied on memory and paper maps but I ran out of memory Still use paper maps but they are torn and tattered from to many years of use..

Some of you remember the trip we took from my house to the Big Black bridge.

With my new want to put in waypoints for a cross state route I went back through and made a good route.

Here is the info via Facebook

Nolen, does the TAT cross Ms. ?

It does. I think across the north part of the state east to west. I’ve never looked at it. Don’t want to be seen as copying any of that stuff.

I’ve almost got the entire state crossing done. Natchez to Corinth.

Mapped out a great route through DeSoto National Forest

Who will be the first to try my Cross Mississippi Trail?

@wngrog what app are you using for this map? I'm a paper map, old school guy...gotta join the 21st century.

FYI you can call Camp Shelby Range control to see if there are any closures on roads or at the MOUT sites.....(601) 558-2709

Yes it does. There’s also the MS Hill Country Loop that they’ve done that looks pretty interesting. Given that it starts just north of Madison I have a feeling Nolen has probably been on all of the roads already.

Your full 18 hour tour may be a bit much. I’ve been eyeing the 7-8 hour trip though.

Don’t be a pus.

My way is more fun. Estimate 75% off road

Nolen in off road time, what do you think the time ( days) to run this would be ? Including cool place stops.. interesting . I know how much work routing all that is, I’ve been doing a lot lately.

A long weekend if you drive and eat. I’m kind of shocked it’s 600 miles.

Got a nice nice add to the Central MS leg done today after working in Columbus.

The leg is called the Tombigbee River leg. Almost all gravel. Really cool.

Natchez to just north of Mccomb.

This is headed to Hattiesburg at some point to tie into my DeSoto Legs

 

[WharfRat]

The highway route is one of my least favorite in the state. It sucks. How many miles and what was the time?

I had a little time last week, needed some "away" time, and drove the Pearl to Forest leg of one of your routes. Good trip and I enjoyed it.

Thanks for mapping these out. I hope to eventually get to all of them.
