I was born in Natchez, MS, though I didn't grow up there. If you're a history buff (particularly Civil War era), this will be right up your alley!

Riding at night can be 'interesting' (it's a dark, narrow road with enough oncoming traffic to keep your night vision screwed up and more deer than you can possibly count)

Speed limit is low, and I've been told it can be very aggressively enforced.

Watch your fuel.

Other than that, it's a GREAT ride with lots to see and do.
