Well I made it and it was hell. I like Texas and don't like Louisiana and have no opinion about anyplace else I drove through. Also, my car got demolished on the way (thanks terrible roads in Louisiana) but my insurance is fixing it.
Sorry to hear about your car, but it's a good thing that it'll be fixed w/o dishing out extra funds for it. I've never really had a major problem w/ Texas myself, but northern Louisiana/Western Mississippi had those horrid roads w/ massive pot-holes in them.
Are the roads mostly still red in Mississippi? Just curious since I remember that more than anything else about the roads there...
I share you opinions on both Texas and Louisiana. I swear you don't need to see the signs to know you've crossed from TX to La on the interstate. The bumps, dips, and almost ruts in the highway will let you know.
I'll post a few pics of my last 2 roadtips if you'll post some of yours. Adventures in trailer pulling!
