>........ correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the Natchez trace , used by Indians leaving New Orleans for the Memphis area .< Actually, the Trace runs from Nashville to Natchez. Memphis doesn't enter into it.It was a major thoroughfare in the Old Southwest used by traders and the military, as well native Americans... today the Trace is a scenic route through some really beautiful country. You can get on it in any number of places. P.Walk _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
