At a biker bar in Missouri they learn of a much older route: The Trail Of Tears, A path taken by the Cherokee and other tribes after being forcibly removed from their homelands. Then, after a spot of fishing on the Big Piney river, the Bikers cook up Blackened Fish and Dirty Corn for the bar's regulars.
