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.
