Going for a little ride tomorrow

So, I have managed to put 9500 miles on the Buell in the last 10 months. (700 since last Monday.) I intend to roll over the fifth digit tomorrow. I'll be heading out from home and running up through Natchez, MS to catch the Southern third (or so) of the Natchez Trace Parkway. Up to Kosciusko, MS and back should give me a nice 500 mile round trip. Here's a map of my intended route. (No highways for me.)

I do wonder if the bridge in New York is named for the same dude. I always heard traffic updates for it when I listened to 880 WCBS.

Sure enough, it is!

Thaddeus Kosciusko (1746-1817)- Polish patriot and soldier

And to top off that little circular history lesson, he served under Nathanael Greene, too.
