Our “DAILY RIDE PLANS” for Natchez Trace – Days 1 – 5

We had laid out some plans for this ride. Basically, this is just to keep us from having to do tons of research while we are on the ride. Below is a picture of the plans as an overview. As I noted in the “Apps” Section on the Blog, I use Evernote a lot to collect and organize notes, research, and create plans or other work. It is awesome to use for all the types of files that you can come across!
