get ready to bake
Ok, that aside I have ridden hwy 1 north through Mississippi which parallels the river and it is quite a cultural experience. Very sparce population, lots of poverty and just something completely different. (Banjo theme from Deliverance)
You may want to take a look at the Natchez Trace pkwy. Kinda boring after a while but it's pretty neat if you havent tried it and you can sample it heading north. From Baton Rouge head north on 61 and pick up the Trace to 61 again and head on to Vicksburg. From Vicksburg, pick up 465 and pick up hwy 1. Get ready for some crazy stuff. Hwy 1 is an experience in itself. Be **** sure to have a full tank of gas and plenty of water before you hit hwy1.
If you find yourself in Sikeston Missouri stop in at Lambert's for a fine meal at a great price and catch those rolls when they throw them at ya.
*Warning* get to the west side of the Mississippi river before you get to Kentucky. May want to leap west over the river on interstate 155.
Have a great trip and you guys be careful out there!
I'll send you some contact info to your e-mail in case of an emergency.
