We are fortunate to live close to the Natchez Trace Parkway in Nashville. It’s a true gem in terms of roadways, scenic destinations, and outdoor fun.
Over the past several years, I have spent many many hours hiking, bicycling, picnicking, motorcycling, jeeping, camping, and walking my dog there.

The Trace is one of the National Scenic Byways that passes through Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi. Technically, it’s classified as a one of America’s All-American Roads. There are fewer than 40 All-American Roads in the United States.
To be designated as a National Scenic Byway, a road must possess at least 1 of the 6 intrinsic qualities and be regionally significant. These roads are often the “roads less traveled.” To receive an All-American Road designation, a road must possess multiple intrinsic qualities that are nationally significant and have one-of-a-kind features that do not exist elsewhere. The road or highway must also be considered a “destination unto itself.” That is, the road must provide an exceptional traveling experience so recognized by travelers that they would make a drive along the highway a primary reason for their trip.

I like to help people find unique ways to do things in order to save time & money -- so I frequently write about "outside the box" ideas that most wouldn't think of. As a lifelong dog owner, I often share my best tips for living with and training dogs. I worked in Higher Ed several years until switching gears to pursue things I was more passionate about. I've worked at a vet, in a photo lab, and at a zoo -- to name a few. I enjoy the outdoors via bicycle, motorcycle, Jeep, or RV. You can always find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun websites).
