Rick and Debbie,
We have only traveled the Trace South one time and that was like the third week in October of 2004. The colors then were about like they are in OH or PA like the second week of October.
We didn't pull off the Trace too many times but we did enjoy MM 385.9, the Meriwether Lewis National Monument and Campground, which by the way is Free, No Hookups but nice woodsy area.
We also took the Old Trace Drive at MM 375.8 that had some nice hardwood colors. The Freedom Hills Overlook at MM 317 was nice as was Jeff Busby Park at MM 193.1, another Free No Hookup Park, and a nice uphill walk to the Top with some Very Nice Views.
We usually take Northern Routes out to San Diego for the winter and take the Trace back in the Spring. We either pick it up in Jackson, MS or right at Natchez, MS and take it all the way to Nashville.
If you have never traveled the Trace it is very interesting. If you're in a hurry don't even try it as the speed limit is 50 mph. We really enjoy traveling it and I'm sure you would.
Safe Travels and Enjoy.
Jim

Sure is a good looking Big Horn you got there.... well the truck's not to bad... but it is a Ford.
Lookin Good!!!
The Ford was all I could afford after buyin the Big Horn. Tried to buy a Dodge but could not stimulate Dymler Chrysler like that. I had a Dodge 2500 quad cab diesel and the Big Horn was too much for it to tow!

My first post in this thread is our current BH. Ijust thought I'd add our two previous rigs. Just for kicks...The TT is a 27ft. Dutchmen behind our Yukon and The 5ver is a 29ft Jayco behind a great Silverado with the 8.1. Dang that was a fun truck to drive. (both are history) Check out that storage compartment in the Jayco.

Dang that's the exact truck I was going to get. Loved from the cab forward didn't so much like the fenders but oh well.
How do you like it? It pull great? There was just some weird torque management with the new GM's guess I should have just drove it more or do you still need to really get on it before it moves. Sexy truck by the way.

This here is our babies on our way home last year on the Natchez Trace. We are going to leave the end of October and enjoy the colors for 400 miles or so.

My fellow Ford Truck Club members will probably excommunicate me for this but, that's a nice looking GMC you've got there.
