Day 9 - September 13, 2010 - Covington, TN to Prichard, MS


Today was about 80 miles from Covington, TN to Pritchard, MS. It was chilly as the sun was still low when we left Covington this morning at about 7:15. Once we were off of Hwy 51 the roads were pretty quiet and the drivers courteious. There were a lot of houses the entire distance from Covington to Memphis. The homes were decent close to Covington and then deteriorated into mobile homes and modular homes which continued until we came closer to Memphis where the homes became more upscale. For the middle twenty to thirty miles portion of this distance every house had at least one probably two and maybe up to four dogs. We did not have any close calls however. Below I have added a pictuere of the Mississippi River Trail (MRT) Signs that mark our route. Some of these signs have evidently been in place fore a long time because they are very badly faded. The route has been marked through Kentucky and Tennessee.

The picture was taken on Beale Street where we stopped for lunch. We loaded up in the van and drove thru Memphis.
