Whatever you do, NEVER EVER EVER take I-49/Hwy 90 down south from Baton Rouge through Lafayette.
Straight through what looks like Louisiana's iteration of a mash-up of Atlanta with the south side of Chicago, the "highway" runs right through town with stoplights every few feet, with the BIGGEST potholes this side of New Orleans. Some are a foot deep.
I had my trailer door break open driving through Lafayette, swinging back and forth like crazy. I didn't stop to close it. Lafayette is NOT the town to stop in for ANY reason. There is a giant Racetrac gas station right on the highway. Don't stop there. Locals call it a "crack station."
I'm still appalled that a major highway goes through such an area...which wouldn't be so bad if the road wasn't so God-awful or even paved properly...but I've been on Jeep trails in Colorado that weren't NEARLY as bad as this section of I-49/Hwy 90.
I've heard many a story of bent steel rims going down this section of road.
Avoid it.
