Country;
Rolling Hills; Forest; swamp/wetlands. You will be following
the Amite River for a good portion and crossing back
and forth over the river and hill/valley's that govern it's
course. Scenery is in constant flux from open fields
to canopy forest. You will be passing through the Homochitto
National Forest so just look around. .

Road Quality:

|
This
route has some of everything; Just when you are tried of
straight and flat it gets hilly and twisty. Only the last
mile of Hwy 567 appears to be someone's drive way. Slow
down here and check out the wild flowers. The rest of the
route is good to great.

Roadside Amenities:

Not
too many places to stop because the shoulders can be narrow
and the banks steep and deep. The trip ends when you reach
the end of 98 in Bude. Straight across the intersection
is the "Gas Lane" and it is here that you will find the
route's namesake - fried livers & Gizzards! Enjoy.
Liberty, MS is about 90 miles into the trip and a great
place to stop and refuel both the bike and rider. At the
intersection of 584 and 24 is a Chevron station that is
worth the stop. Food is available and the place is usually
clean.
