    I live in Natchez Trace Village in Madison, MS. and our neighborhood backs up to the Trace.... We have an adv / walking trail in the back of the neighborhood that comes out on the Trace across from Reservoir. I RIDE it almost everyday. It never gets old.... such a peaceful, beautiful ride every time. Thankful I have this little piece of paradise less than a 1/2 mile from my house!! I am glad you discovered it too, and shared it with the rest... I did suggest it to you guys a while back, but you may have already ridden it by then, not knowing how your videos are released etc? That was GOOD !! Be safe !!😄

    I absolutely love watching your show. Every morning I watch at least one episode with my coffee and then a few more throughout the day. The inspiration I draw from you two is unmeasurable. I thank you for the motivation and inspiration your adventures and witty banter give me. Your show has inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and explore the world I live in. Also, seeing the way you and Rich get alone together restored my faith in love and finding my other half. Thank you two for sharing your life with us, I really appreciate your hard work, sacrifices and dedication to your show.

    I always tell my wife “never take your helmet off until you get off” “ always put your helmet on before you get on” . She is like why do you insist on this.. well if you face plant going on or off your head is protected. And she learned that lesson a month ago when her foot got caught and she fell. Her hear hit the pavement but Thank God she had her helmet on.

    I remember when I first went to Natchez, it was the first Fall Pilgramage. My wife and I had a great time, Natchez has some great things to see. We drove up the Trace until we got to the birthplace of Elvis. I think it was 1975 or 76. Much of the trade before steamboats was by flat boats that were built along the Ohio River and when they got to Natchez they either sold the boats for lumber of just abandoned them and went back by the Trace. Beautiful drive, no commercial traffic.

    As a 68 year old dude, I've started mounting my Road King from the right side using the foot board while pulling in the front brake lever. So much easier than swinging my leg over the seat from the left especially with a rider's back rest.

    As a Mississippian who lives 15 miles from the Trace Bridge crossing of the Tn River, I can tell you flatboats came south on the Ms River and the crews and owners walked back north on the Trace after selling their wares and boats. Merriweather Lewis died on the Trace. Read "The Devil's Backbone". Andrew Jackson also traveled the Trace, I believe. I may wave at you from my '99 Magna. Be safe.

    I have missed a few chapters and don’t know what happened to the truck and the caravan, but I’m glad they are a feature no more, and that you have gone back to light camping, don’t take that light to seriously.
    I think you learned from the dinosaurs, they were grown to big, complacent, and way no, please let me say it, to stupid.
    Congratulations on getting back to the bikes, for certain on shorter loops, yes, but it’s good seeing you again!!!

    for the laptops and vibrations, my solution was to get one of the harbor freight knockoffs of a pelican case, and then bolted that to my top box bolts on my tiger 900. that case comes with internal padding that's pretty good, and i keep all of my electronics-related stuff in that.

The new tent looks to be a winner so you're good to go and man are you going. The Nachez Trace is on my bucket list. Ride on, you 2, there's lots of ground to be covered.
