On the roads in Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama - July 23, 2015

From the roads as we drove from Joplin, Missouri, down I-49 and US 71, across I-40 to Memphis, and out US 78/Future I-22 across northern Mississippi into Alabama, with a few little side routes along the way. We continued into the night, but there are no pictures from after dark.

We start the morning on a little I-44. [Crop/Zoom: 2070x2502]

And soon get on our way south on I-49, another very recent section. [Crop/Zoom: 3146x1043]

[Crop/Zoom: 3602x1628]

[Crop/Zoom: 2262x1750]

Lots of Business I-49s through here. [Crop/Zoom: 1245x1646]

[Crop/Zoom: 1337x1380]

[Crop/Zoom: 1832x1675]

I-49 has a missing segment near the state line, so it's just US 71 and some traffic lights for a bit. [Crop/Zoom: 2056x1088]

[Crop/Zoom: 2641x1367]

Impressive rock cuts through here. [Larger: 2304x1728]

Into Arkansas on US 71 South. [Crop/Zoom: 1238x966]

[Crop/Zoom: 2285x1355]

There are some US 71B's here. And many things named Walton. [Crop/Zoom: 1588x1122]

I-49 is back! [Crop/Zoom: 517x720]

[Crop/Zoom: 2061x1808]

[Crop/Zoom: 1559x1070]

[Crop/Zoom: 1450x1079]

[Crop/Zoom: 2372x1044]

[Crop/Zoom: 2487x1658]

[Crop/Zoom: 2427x2488]

This stretch of I-49 is scenic, and includes this tunnel. [Crop/Zoom: 1141x415]

We'll take the I-40 bridge into Memphis because of current traffic. [Crop/Zoom: 2391x1181]

Crossing the Mississippi. It was much smaller where we crossed it on I-94 north of Minneapolis a few days ago. [Larger: 2304x1728]

[Larger: 2304x1728]

A fairly short visit to Tennessee. [Crop/Zoom: 2003x798]

The old pyramid is not an arena now, it's a big store. [Larger: 2304x1728]
