Written Directions

From Columbia Miss. take Hwy 98 west to Hwy 587 take this Hwy all the way to Monticello.

Scenery

You'll like the scenery on this one. Its very hilly and woody!

Drive Enjoyment

The road quality is fair to good with plenty of elevated twisters ... too many to count.Be careful on this route there are a lot of blind turns there.

Tourism Opportunities

At the beginning you can stop off at Red Bluff and admire the scenery. You can also get something to eat in Columbia but I would wait till I got to Monticello as the fried catfish there is excellent.

This is our favorite stretch of highway! We call it the "Tail of the Possum". A friend of mine that is in a Trans Am club told me they love that run as well, and he came up with the name. We like to run a loop from Sumrall, out 44 to Columbia, up 587 to Monticello, then back down 42 to Sumrall. We probably won't do this ride again till the temps are in at least the 70s, but would love to have some new friends along on this ride. Give me a yell!
