    I49 North from Shreveport is only opened for about 19 miles. best to stay on Hwy 71 to Arkansas then north on I549 to Texarkana.

    One of these days I need to go further south and go thru your state of Louisiana.

    All of my roads usually go through Gatlinburg TN and then to where we are really going to haha..

    I will run down to North and Central ALABAMA and pick up US82 and head for Wichita Falls TX in a heart beat. This puts me very close to the northern border of LA when going thru AR but I probably have only been thru your state one for two times that I remember.

    I have been to Pensacola Beach on many occasions but returning home always takes back to Gatlinburg and I81. Even trips to Myrtle Beach SC goes to and returns back through Gatlinburg. Its sorta on the way hehe... We are all creatures of habit I guess.

    The only thing that sticks in my mind about LA roads is a very long bridge with no exits haha...
