Ride safe - it will be good to see you again. To bad Mark has to work - that is such a dirty word ;)

If you're going all the way up the Trace, the next gas station between Tupelo and the top is Carrollton. Looks like your heading east tomorrow though?

Which ever way your going, You Go Girl... :2thumbs:
