Yes there was some construction but no real bad delays. Only real tailgaters and speeders were on I-65 to Indy from US-50, but that is normal. We used a lot of two lanes on way home which took us thru a lot of miles of nothing, but open range land(over 400 miles worth in Neb.) and very few towns for help if for some reason we would have a break down.
That's another reason why we avoid interstates at all costs now .... for some time now ... that and the tailgaters, horrendus speed, and darn bumpy raods!

We just made a trip from Central Texas to Florida for about a week and then back home. The trip went well except for the unforgiving traffic. Going east in Louisiana the traffic came to a complete stand still about five miles west of the Mississippi river bridge at Baton Rouge. We sat there or moved along in first gear for an hour and a half until it finally broke up. It was some kind of construction. By the time we got to the point where the construction was going on there was no one there left working. We moved pretty good until we got about eight miles from the I-12, I-10, I-59 split at Slidell. Once again it came to a complete halt. We were in that jam for three hours, we finally got off I-12 at US hwy. 11 and went south to Alt. US 190 and then to US 190 and over to US 90 until we crossed the Mississippi line and then back north to I-10 to get around the mess. The traffic was heavier than normal on I-10 and I 12 all the way across from Texas to Florida. I think from now on we will just go west and north west out of Central Texas, its a lot less traffic.

We try to avoid interstates and major cities for that very reason. When we lived at the coast the only practical way south was I-5 through Seattle and Portland, I hated it.
