Friday April 13, 2012

Time to head home. We got on the road at 8:30 and got to see some of the post hurricane renewal that is happening in New Orleans as we were driving out of the city on I10. Lots of new housing plus the vacant lots where houses had been removed.

The trip north was quite different than on I75 or I95. No billboards, developed areas, traffic etc. Mississippi was an endless view of trees lining both sides of the highway. The only highlight was the roadkill, saw three armadillos that didn't make it across the highway. I have also never seen so much truck tire debris. Either there is something about the pavement that causes so many tire failures or they never clean it up.

Today's drive was relatively easy except for the traffic through Nashville TN which we happened to encounter at 5:00 pm rush hour.

We stopped at Bowling Green KY, approximately the half way point.
