This
route winds through part of the Holly Springs National Forest.
In the fall it's a beautiful ride. Crosses the Tippah River
at Highway 4. Just a few chances to open up the throttle,
But it's mostly gradual curves, nothing to sharp for the
beginner.

This
Highway once had some old narrow bridges that were made
during the Model T era, so only one of our modern cars could
pass at a time. In the last few years they have replaced
the bridges with nice wide concrete and some new pavement.

Not
much to stop and look at on this route, just some very pretty
scenery in the fall. Although you might find some good home
cooking in Ashland at some of the mom and pop restaurants.

The
route starts in the town of Hickory
Flat, MS which is just about 60 miles east south east
of Memphis Tennessee. If you are traveling from Memphis,
go East on US 78, look for the Hickory Flat exit. There
will be a nice Truck stop at this exit. You will continue
East on Highway US78/State Route 178 for a short distance
through Hickory Flat. Turn Left at the flashing light onto
Highway 5 North and here is where this route begins - HANG
ON!!! Once you finish the route you will intersect US 72
where taking this west will carry you back to Memphis through
Collierville, TN (if that's where you are headed) or just
turn around and do the "Half Hour Hoot" again, this time
from north to south.
