On the last leg of our journey, the leg is only 100 miles from a great Louisiana state campground to the Laverty's, cold drinks on the LSU porch this evening!  2800 miles for us, probably about 2000 if we used interstates, none of that crazy driving for us, cars passing you on both sides at 75 miles per hour, we did have to use the interstate in Memphis, big sign, slow down, you don't want to be the 353 person to die on this highway since it was built, believe me, many people are trying to die, many came inches from hitting us as they entered the highway or cutting in front to exit!  65  and above is not for retirees!
I know people that try to cut minutes off their trip time from Canada to Florida, each year, imagine! I went from home to Florida 45 minutes faster than last year! Go figure!
