Late April 2011, Dave W. from Zenedy, Illinois bicycled the Natchez Trace Parkway from Natchez to Nashville. His wife Donna drove the support vehicle.
On April 27th they were heading towards French Camp when storms and tornadoes blew through central and northeast Mississippi ripping trees apart for over twenty miles along the Trace. Fortunately, they safely made their way with the help of the park service who cleared the trees from the parkway.
