A friend just asked me about this road and I was embarrassed to say I had never heard of it:

I certainly saw a number of happy riders out on it Sunday. Gorgeous day, spring is really starting down there.Seriously planning on doing more of it at the tail-end of my cross-country drive this September so I will do a more full scout of it.

The Nachez is nice but I don't think it's worth a trip just for it. If in the area it's nice to cruise on for a bit. The speed limit is draconian and in some stretches will really become a nuisance. The sites are also fairly repetitive and a lot of the praise for the road, in my opinion, comes from a limited pool of options in the area. It's no Blue Ridge, Badlands, Kancamagus, Pacific Coast, Smokies competitor (again - In My Opinion) but it is a pretty highway with some interesting Southern History sights.
