Staying off Federal Land

    A few weeks ago a air show was held at Savannah Tennessee to benefit
St. Judes Children's hospital. The Mid-South Chapter of the MVPA was
asked to have a few vehicles there to help draw the crouds. Savannah is
several miles from myself and from the Memphis area where most of the
members of this chapter live so I thought that I would call and get
permission to use the Natchez Trace parkway to cut a few miles of the
trip for myself. When I called to get permission they informed me that
it was alright for a horse trailer or camper or any recreational vehicle
except mine to use the Trace. They said that if they caught me on the
Trace they would treat it as a commercial vehicle which is a federal
offense even though the whole trip was for charity.
