A "252" in Mesquite.
[2048x1536]
On I-635, headed back to I-20.
[2048x1536]
US 175 is here, too.
[2048x1536]
And I-635 ends.
[2048x1536]
..at I-20.
[2048x1536]
and there's the end.
[2048x1536]
Back on I-20 East.
[2048x1536]
Crossing US 259 on I-20 near Longview.
[2048x1536]
US 259 joins us for a while.
[2048x1536]
I-20 and US 259 in eastern Texas.
[2048x1536]
They sure have trees in eastern Texas.
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
US 59 at a gas stop in Marshall, Texas.
[2048x1536]
Entering Louisiana on I-20 East.
[2048x1536]
And we get welcomed.
[2048x1536]
And we're in Louisiana.
[2048x1536]
US 79 and US 80 cross I-20.
[2048x1536]
Approaching Shreveport on I-20.
[2048x1536]
There's US 171 here.
[2048x1536]
From I-20 onto I-49.
[2048x1536]
This station, WBAP in Dallas, had a lot of interesting stuff on this
40th anniversary of the assassination of JFK. They played several
hours of their actual coverage from that day in real time, 40 years
later.
[2048x1536]
Crossing US 84 (travelled a lot yesterday) on I-49 South.
[2048x1536]
Crossing US 371 on I-49.
[2048x1536]
Continuing south on I-49.
[2048x1536]
Looking for lunch in Opelousas.
[2048x1536]
In Opelausas, Louisiana.
[2048x1536]
Back on I-49 and now also US 167.
[2048x1536]
Arrival at I-10, at the current southern terminus I-49.
[2048x1536]
A lot of I-10 in Louisiana is elevated above swamps. For these
stretches, the speed limit drops to 60.
[2048x1536]
Approaching the I-10 bridge over the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge.
[2048x1536]
Shortly after that, I-10 and I-12 split off.
[2048x1536]
A bit of a view of Baton Rouge from the bridge.
[2048x1536]
Yes, it's the Mississippi River.
[2048x1536]
It's a big river down here, not that you could tell from this picture
of the side of the bridge.
[2048x1536]
Getting ready to split off onto I-12.
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
And it's I-12.
[2048x1536]
I guess this is where Baptists go to get their pumpkins. Or maybe
anyone can get a Baptist pumpkin.
[2048x1536]
Crossing I-55 on I-12.
[2048x1536]
Just a number.
[2048x1536]
Coming up on the eastern terminus of I-12, at I-10 and I-59.
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
Then on into Mississippi.
[2048x1536]
The highway is named for someone.
[2048x1536]
That actually is just one sign, and it says "Alabama State Line",
taken on I-10 East.
[2048x1536]
They also welcome us to Alabama, also pretty badly blurred.
[2048x1536]
And finally, a blurred "Florida State Line", also on I-10 East.
